Ratings and reviews

I have been using this app to navigate around Asia for the last seven years, even in remote areas and countries with poor connectivity. I use it every day, often many times per day, and I love it. The offline maps are great, I can add pins, export pins to share with friends, and there is zero superfluous nonsense. The app is clean, simple, and works well. My one wish: a single-color overlay showing all trains, not just subway, so I can see the cross-country routes. Thank you, creators!

This app is an excellent alternative to Google Maps. That being said, it does lack a few quality of life features (such as Android Auto support, which is coming in a branch on GitHub). My only real gripe is a big one though - it doesn't always navigate you to the exact location of landmarks (for example, Disney Springs sends you to the valet pickup instead of the entrance).

Nice app for offline navigation. The best feature for this app is it's simplicity, not having unnecessary gimmicky features. One feature I would recommend having is showing the speed limits. The implementation of the night mode is also weird, in auto night mode, only the navigation screen is dark, not the whole app, making it a bit blinding to start the app. Hope this is fixed soon. Overall the app has great potential, but still needs some way to go.
