Ratings and reviews

Used it a few times. Doesn't tell you what the next street is that you have to turn on is. Only gives the distance and direction. GPS is spotty, but GPS works fine in other apps. Map will often stop centering on the car. Response to Dev Response: I'm not wanting to hear the street name. I want the map to show it. There's other issues with the voice guidance even if I wanted that, which I don't.

Update: I'm here to review the app not for help. As I said resizing the info bar to Small still too large. Too many useless settings. Won't pay premium for an app not working properly. Can't find all addresses. Doesn't show name of the street you turning next (don't tell me it's on the bottom, it's not there). Many other free choices out there offering better experience 😉

This is the worst GPS app I have used in recent memory. It soaks up ALL the phone's resources FOR NOTHING. the navigation is horrible as well, if you ever get the thing to find an address. It will not adjust to the addition of way points, instead it just tacks them to the end and NOTHING you do changes that. I paid for the maps, and I WILL GET THAT MONEY BACK. I don't put in "coordinates", I enter an address via standard American Address format. i.e. number street, city, state, zip. I also placed markers for "start" and "stop" directly on the map. Doesn't matter how I found start and destination, it drained my battery to nearly dead in a matter of Minutes, and every time (without exception) I tried to search a route it would lock up.
