The app is great for finding points of interest, but the navigation design is horrible. No map view, only audio directions. The directions only work if you are on the route. Several times it did not announce the upcoming turn and we went off route. The worst part is there is no notice when you go off route. If you go off route, then it does nothing to get back on track. You have to use some other type of navigation to get back to the route before navigation will resume.

Had some difficulty with navigation but overall did pretty well. My biggest disappointment was that it would say you passed a point of interest, but it didn't say what it was or tell you anything about it. It isn't a very good tool for someone traveling alone as it requires a lot of interaction with the phone. But, if you have a navigator, I did discover a couple of tricks that'll help you stay on track. I will use it again if I have the chance to travel the route again.

I did Route 66 a couple of years ago from Chicago west. The app had EVERYTHING you could possibly have been interested in seeing. The navigation was excellent and if you found you were on a stretch of the route that you felt was a slog, you could use the app in a way to allow you to skip bad stretches and still see what you wanted to see. Highly recommended.
