Ratings and reviews

Can't find addresses that are in OSM data. Takes long time to calculate route. Route for no motorway Gardendale Al 2 McDonough Ga goes 60 miles (approx) north before going to destination that is east and a little south. Interface is good. Navigating the route displays smooth. Fonts are too small. No ads. Short distance routing is better than road trip. Easy to use interface.

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).
