This is not worth downloading. First, the app gives way too much info during navigation. Second, I never arrived at any of the destinations programmed. I always ended up stopping navigation at the destination with this app, still giving directions to the destination, never announcing, "you have arrived". I un-installed it. Got MapQuest instead. Works great.

Graphics are decent, but it doesn't let you take an alternate route if you choose. When you go a different way it just keeps trying to redirect you to the original route. Google maps will immediately recognize that you decided to take surface roads and direct you that way. Kind of frustrating for me because then there's no traffic updates.
imaprinta, thank you for your opinion! Please make sure you have "Real-time rerouting" enabled in Route preferences, it will instruct the app to use traffic updates and offer better routes. As regards re-directing to the original route, the app does it 3 times and only in case you selected a particular route from offered route alternatives.

Excellent app for map and navigation. The best choice for deGoogling. --Offline map is far superior to google's "download this area", with proper and familiar units like states, countries, and territories. --Spatial audio in voice nav pans left or right corresponding with directions. It's a subtle cue that reinforces where you want to be going, without visuals --(over)Speed alerting, one for roads, one for highway --Nearly all the same POI metadata you get from google (store hours etc.)
