A bit greedy with map limits. Only allowed 7 region downloads ever without paying, and you don't get those slots back if you delete a region you don't need anymore. Also if you delete and re-download the same region, or update a region, that counts as another download.. So realistically you'll run out very quickly if you want a usable experience offline, making it impossible for a longer road trip or travel to detailed areas like Japan with many "regions".

The best offline map you can hope to get, but the GPS either has to have no voice prompts or LITERALLY informs you of the new calculated route time every 15 seconds with no way to turn that off. GPS would be absolutely perfect if I could just turn every voice prompt off except where to turn. Edit: voice prompts fixed; my only other desire here is the ability to plot your own routes and have the voice prompts follow it. Bonus points if it can recalculate based on your chosen route.

The app itself is great. However, after I clicked on a special offer within the app to upgrade to the Pro annual subscription (a pop-up banner at the top of the screen), they continued to charge me for the monthly subscription as well—every month, for the entire year. I emailed customer support, and they told me there was nothing they could do and wouldn't issue a refund. Unethical...
