Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
I’ve been using Guru since the days when it was called Galileo. I selected it because it was free and feature filled. It didn’t do everything I wanted back then, so I primarily used MapOut which is one of my all time favorite apps. Over the years, Guru has been adding features - enough so that I decided to pay for it and I have been really happy with the thought and updates that go into this app. I like how it can create waypoints from my clipboard, saving me tons of clicks. I like the export feature - allowing many formats. The map layers for pro are awesome - being able to use satellite view is very helpful. I also really love waypoint sync. My wife and I share an account and we work together to make waypoints for trips and the ones she makes just “show up” on my phone (and vice versa). This app saves me a ton of time in that regard. I like the wide selection of maps - you have to do an extra download step to get access to these, but it is pretty easy once you know about it and worth the extra effort. I also really like how waypoints can be displayed by category and how the search feature works. So, if I want to filter waypoints by drinking fountain, I can quickly see all of those highlighted in an instant. These features all work extremely well!! It’s still not my 100% goto app. MapOut has two features that keep me switching between Guru and MapOut. For one, MapOut has a neat slider where I can measure distance and total ascent along a track (or any arbitrary segment of a track by moving the slider). Also, that app has a useful elevation profile that is easier to utilize than the more buried one on Guru. I really like the updates on Guru; you can tell that the developers care about the app and its progress. It has been around for years and is still being updated. Thank you developers!!

Best in Class Open Street Maps App

Galileo is very polished and packed with features. I have used this to get around my own town online as well as other countries without cell service with great success.The map quality for Open Street Maps is not as good as Google or Apple maps in my city, but the great part is i can fix errors in minutes instead of “reporting a problem” with the map and waiting months for it to be fixed.
Simple thing missing

This is very much like Waze but It’s almost impossible to add a location from your current location. It’s pretty easy to add a location by its location by almost any point that is gps or address based, but the ability to name that location is impossible to input. I wish a developer could use the product from their desktop by adding 3 locations from their workplace then input them and know which one is “Billy’s house” or Grocery store. It’s great if you want to remember each address of each place you’re going to visit. And scrolling back to find that great place you stopped. Forget it. But it does work well and I gave them 4 stars because the map etc. is really smooth and software in general seems to be somewhat intuitive.
Worth a try

I used this a few years ago when it was Galileo. I downloaded maps for 5 US states. The UI is confusing but you get used to it, so everyone I showed this to I would explain the UI so that they’d understand what it does. The map design is not as nice as other mapping apps but this app works offline, so I used it occasionally when I was out of signal range.Since then, Galileo/Guru has changed their pricing from one time to subscription, and other apps have added offline use. HERE Maps has unlimited downloads, a simpler UI, and better map design; Google Maps has limited downloads but a nicer UI and more data on the maps.I stopped using Galileo/Guru when I had to restore my phone from backup. It lost the maps it had already downloaded and wouldn’t let me download them again without payment. I understand why they raised their prices but it made me think about why I didn’t use it much (map design, ui, features), and led me to delete it. I don’t want to be reminded every month that I’m paying for something I only use occasionally; I only subscribe to things I use often.It’s the right app for some people so *it’s worth a try* but it wasn’t worth the higher price for me so I’ve removed it and no longer show it to my colleagues.
