Ratings and reviews

Fair map app. No address look up, just destination road & cross streets. Choosing destination on the map, but it may not show. Showed 2 houses on a street where there are 12. Routing is ok, does not look at traffic, says trip is 25mi. in 28 min., hour is likely. Rereroutes when you turn off. Sticks to major roads but suggest to many U-turns when changing path. Places are out of date by up to 5 yrs & some all out wrong, never had that name. Audio is good, some nice options there too. But ...

This is probably one of the best mapping apps available. It relies on OpenStreetMap (open-source, community project), which already makes it great, and it provides good navigation and plenty of information. Only thing is that it's important not to rely on the app unless you know the map is good because some parts of the world are still partially unmapped and business info is limited.

I like everything about this app EXCEPT actually not being able to find/enter valid addresses!!! I enter an address....any common address...and 9 times out of 10, the app cannot find it! If there's a trick to the format for entering the address, then I can't figure it out. The same exact addresses....all of them I've tried.....work perfectly well in every other navigation app I use, including Sygic, Google Maps, Waze, etc My question is ..HOW does one enter an address or POI name to find for car navigation???.
