IMPORTANT

Caution: For accessibility reasons, popup should not be created more often than once every 20 seconds.

Caution 2: Navigation.LaunchGuidance() and Navigation.LaunchGuidanceWaypoints() can not be launched when a popup (either MQTT or Popup) is displayed. To make sure the guidance have actually been launched please check that LaunchGuidance function return is True.

This method is deprecated, it should not be used in a new project.
