Ratings and Reviews
Life saver!
Found this app invaluable! Having no inclusive data on my roaming and also not wanting to purchase a SIM card, I was able to drive around Dubai with ease thanks to this app. Traffic info also available. Speed alerts very handy as speed caleras are not easy to spot for a tourist and on my previous visit I racked up so many speeding fines without even realising I broke the limits! TIP: do some research before you travel and manually bookmark locations from looking up on Google maps as this app doesn't have extensive list of places that Google does.... Or do it where you have WiFi access when you're out there. Happy travels!!
Drive with confidence
What a fantastic app! Guy at the car hire company downloaded it on my iPhone and it gives clear instructions and even what lane to be in!
One small point is getting the right info to input for the destination can be a bit awkward, but that could be down to user error. Found roughly where we wanted to go by scrolling on the map and hit the navigate to here button. Works for me!
Used during Dubai 4 day stopover
Truely wonderful navigation plus app. Recommend any fly-drive visitor to UAE.
Likes - No internet access needed (excellent); takes you to location eg restaurant of choice not just street; manoeuvres you out of complicated routes eg Deira Naif area; works well also in A/D, Sharjah so good for touring;
Some improvements - voice guidance takes a while to understand; UAE changes fast & update needs to keep up
Overall: definitely an app to use if you visiting (or living)& driving in UAE; an excellent& commended initiative by UAE Gov’t - well done!!
