I used the app in Spain. Comped with other navigation apps, gaode's advantage is: it provided oral guidance which lane I should use or not use, before approaching the crossings. Google and Waze does bad at this point. The disadvantage is it doesn't support offline map and the communication speed with the server is slow. Hope the team could improve this soon.

Nearly unusable for foreigners now. There are constant popups to login, but to login requires a mainland Chinese phone number. If it were easier to get one this wouldn't be a problem, but the real name verification is frequently paused for foreigners so depending on when you visit it may not even be possible.

Absolutely garbage. Pop ups demanding a phone number, map navigation that doesn't follow the GPS, crashing and refreshing when switching between apps, slow, and you also can't filter stores by time/hours.
