Ratings and reviews

it's a very good navigation app, probably the best. I'm amazed tho that you only get a small audio bleep to warn you of speed cameras instead of a voice warning. Almost all other navigation apps provide thus. surely it's not beyond your technical knowledge to do this. Makes it so much easier to hear a voice than a little bleep that you may miss whilst driving. I'm sure your ratings would go up 5 fold .

I used to love this app - I could switch between routes without having to manually add waypoints to force the AI to go specific ways. Recently it's also been ignoring random junctions that split the route, both on and off the motorway, rurally and in cities, leaving you having to make last minute decisions. Sudden lane changes are also its forte - especially fun in city traffic in the last possible 5m before a turn! Traffic estimations are also way off. As it is, it's pretty much pointless.

Maps is suddenly very difficult to use. Search for, say, restaurants in a given area and the map zooms out to show an entire city, leaving you to find your location by manual zooming. Saved a few places in a collection, but can't click through to them or, when click through does work, functions for searching in that area are not available. And when clicking on something of interest shown on a route, I can only add it as a stop, not open and read about what it is. It's a frustrating experience.
