Ratings and reviews

Too much talking! Although this app is the most accurate of all the gps apps tried, this one talks too much. While approaching a waypoint, I don't need a countdown every 1/10 of a mile before turning. Also, when on a long road, telling someone to stay straight and countdown to that point is just too much. Fixing that would make the app perfect for me.

Better than most mapping and navigation apps, especially google maps. Has the ability to load 25 stops without additional purchases or subscriptions, though I wish it had a subscription service at a minimal charge to keep it stable, only lasts a week. Once it becomes unstable and force closes, the only thing that fixes it is uninstall/reinstall, and it works fine again. Average score, but better than google's one star. Warning: Don't open settings, that's the force closing bug.

I have always used Google maps until recently. After several incidents of Google "forcing" a route with no alternatives, I finally got frustrated enough to download a different navigational map. As of now, mapquest is my go to! So much better than Google maps and has great additional features that Google doesn't give you. I'm loving this app!!
