Google Maps - Transit & Food 4+

Just get people who can speak Irish properly to do the voiceover . You wouldn’t find a Cockney pronunciation of Spanish too popular in Spain ! Though it’s true the spoken word is generally English the placenames with Irish provenance and prominence are easily understood and recognised once correctly delivered according to local knowledge, which, after all is the purpose of the service, to bring you to your destination as identified, named and known!

Used to be a fantastic app. However, multiple updates later and it has certainly lost its precision. If you’re setting out for a specific location, it guides you to a road next to the destination with no access to the location itself. I also particularly dislike the touch settings. Pinching the screen should zoom in, unfortunately for some reason it turns the map upside down, which makes zero sense. When a few doors away from your destination, if it actually leads you up the correct road, Google Maps announces that you have reached your destination and automatically zooms out of the map. Not ideal in the slightest if you’re looking for somewhere when it is dark! It does not have the full Eircode database, even if the Eircode has been designated. If looking for a newer Eircode, it does not have the capability. Finally, the newest update asks for permission to access your camera for location guidance, which strikes me as odd.

Has car padestrians trains cyclists but not hgv? When im driving an articulated truck. The maps works food except it keeps wanting me to take the shortest route which is a no no. I need to be kept in the smoothest route or on the big wide roads etc also need low bridge warnings too. If ye can add that thatll save me 500 quid on truck nav. Also there should be local accents on each countries because some place names make me laugh. When I connect my phone to handsfree it automatically plays music im not sure if its the phone or the maps or the head unit that starts playing music without me asking it to. Gmaps is great for car users. Hopefully an update will fix those problems.
