| 2024-11-26 |  | | +Love the app. Best map to plan routes and not get rerouted randomly. Also you can set as many waypoints to customize the route without having to stop when you reach one. Just pass the waypoint and the app continues to your next waypoint or destination. -Will stop tracking completely in a tunnel. So you must memorize tunnels with multiple exits. Other map apps assumes you continue at the speed limit in tunnels. -All roundabouts show same entrance and exit icon. -Does not have AndroidAuto app. |
| 2024-11-24 |  | | This app is really good and convenient for maps and GPS |
| 2024-11-20 |  | | Could you please incorporate street name on main roads and street please , like how google maps does as I love your app would love it even more if you could incorporate this fitures thank you |
| 2024-10-28 |  | | Inertial map scrolling started behaving weird with the recent update - it doesn't process input until previous movement finishes. This results with very sketchy and unreliable scrolling. |
| 2024-09-10 |  | | Looks good but annoying to use. Not as easy as gg maps to select destination and departure points. Defaults to pointing instead of text search. Doesn't remember last places. Not easy to specify from home to an address (defaults to point on map). I had my route all mapped out, and returning from screen saver, I must have touched something on the screen I shouldn't have, and it cleared my route. Now have to deal with pointing again. WTH guys! |
| 2024-08-11 |  | | Fix these two things for five stars: 1. Movement direction orientation of map. This is crucial if using the map plan view whilst driving, without navigation prompts. The only method of orientation is compass, which swings around and is not usable. 2. The overall map information and contour lines become rendered at a far too small zoom factor. They need to be visible from at least 2x less zoom. It's near impossible to orient myself and nearby areas unless I zoom in further. |
| 2024-05-09 |  | | One of the best free GPS navigation map apps that I've found. It could use some more work on making it easier and more streamline when trying to input, find, set up and then navigate to a new location or point on the map to have the app help you navigate to. Besides not being the most accessible nav app, it's got a LOT of choices and options to make use of. It's nice to be able to set up a map with a layer over the map to show other useful info, like weather or cellular coverage. 8.5/10 |
| 2024-03-14 |  | | I use this app as the platform for the patrol department that I manage at work. I read the reviews and all the negative ones are issues that do not happen to me. User error? No, the app will not turn off randomly, or the record stop randomly, based on the devices wake state. Yes, there is a way to deselect the elevation and contour changes via settings. Please people, if you're going to review something - don't lie through your teeth about its capabilities. This is a marvelous app!!!!!!!! |
| 2023-10-21 |  | | Biggest issue is the phone turns off while you are using the app. Not very good for traveling. please include an option to keep the phone on when the app is visible. I'll add a star for fixing it. Searching is very slow. It also has a tendency to crash when the battery gets low. Finally it stops downloading when I go to other apps. Download really ought to be able to run when not using the program. |
| 2023-05-08 |  | | The app is great for mapping and bookmark management. However, it is sucks for hiking. For route planing It counts speed of human movement like constant, about 5 km / h, without taking into account height differences and terrain. Therefore, the planning of hiking routes gives erroneous calculations. This is a huge minus. |
