A decent Navi app with a little thing off

I have tried different offline map navigation app, and this is by far the best I have found in my opinion. I don’t need to pay some sort of “premium” for some unworthy features like traffic or lane assistance (like Sygic). Or there might be some commercial popping up when I need to navigate. It really is free and easy to use.

The only problem I have encountered so far is that it sometimes guides me to frontage road and back to freeway when there is no heavy traffic or accidents along the freeway. That’s really bizarre. This could be misleading in some ways. The developer team need to find out why it happened and fix it. Because it would cause unnecessary wasting time.

recommendation

I have been using GPS devices for 3 decades. I live in a country where it is still not possible to buy anything from the App Store. That is why it is very important that this App is really free, and there are no hidden costs. This off line GPS App is to be recommended. Guided precisely, I especially like rotating the map in a circular motion, which many autonomous (and expensive) devices do not. Clear, Intuitive, Simple. Clear functions. Huge selection of maps. Easy insertions points between the start and end point of the trip. Good choice of voices. Excellent organization of POI folders. It connects perfectly with the phonebook, with addresses from existing maps, house numbers are accurate. For those who use the HUD function - it works great. There is also the possibility of a dash cam. My rating is 10, if there was a possibility to save the programmed route, the rating would be 10+. This App is in the spirit of today, uses all the features of a smartphone. It can serve as an example to many device and software manufacturers. Kudos to the whole team who worked on this project.

Really good, hopefully improves

I’ve used this exclusively for a couple weeks. First thing before I forget: it respects your privacy. None of the others do. As for the rest, the navigation is really good. IMO, it is better than Apple Maps or Google. The interface, while needing some tweaks, is nice and clear. It shows addresses and businesses in the map while not feeling cluttered.

It works really well with apple car mode (whatever that is called) with a few exceptions. When using the keyboard (on the car interface), there is no way to get rid of the keyboard after you’ve typed. This means you cannot see the results. It is also not as good at finding search results, sometimes suggesting something on the other side of the country when the correct listing is first in Apple Maps. Hopefully this gets better with time.

TLDR: it’s private, works great in most regards. Hopefully improves. Definitely worth supporting.
