Ratings and reviews

When it comes to mapping and guidance, it's ok. But I also enjoy listening to music or audiobooks when driving. And more often than seldom, the heads up "ding" will "duck" the volume of my audio and not release it afterwards. This is very annoying. So annoying that I'm not using this app. And the highest level of prompting is so talkative that it's distracting. The traffic bar: Doesn’t work. No space left to explain.

I do like the app and the features, in particular the AR-powered walking mode. The biggest bug-bear I have is the English guidance voice. There are 22 different country versions of Spanish, various country versions of French, Portuguese, German & Dutch. Why oh why are we stuck with a single version of the most spoken language in the world - an American voice pronouncing instructions and places as if we're all living in the mid-West, and not in UK, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand or Canada!

Really really wanted to like this app, and absolutely happy to admit if I have done something wrong, but it's just really bad. Zooming out just shows a block for what's rendered in. The map is slow, the route never loads. The voice makes me jump every time and is horrible to listen too. I can't see any detail on the road when I click navigate and just shows a line with little to no road markings. Unless I'm doing something wrong, is completely unusable.
