This is very good app. It's much better than Google Maps to navigate in Dubay by driving. It instructs you to turn left or right and how many lanes are possible at the exact time based on current location. However, at the point: 55° 16' 11.01'' E • 25° 12' 8.22'' N The navigation does not tell to go left or right and it may mislead the user.

It is good apps, but all the time it makes confusion. Like if I choose a route and I am on the way, it gets disconnected from GPS and after a while when it connects it takes another route and roaming around and around which waist almost 30- 45 minutes. Its needs to improve. Google is the best GPS system. I dont know whenever I used it tries to go through all signals in the city..I can say it needs much more work to improve its function..Regards Ejaz
