Ratings and reviews

Due to compact button/feature design or seems to more map per pixel than Google's alternative, in general and when filtering for resources. But unfortunately incorporates same/similar extraneous buttons (e.g., weather, ...) as Google Maps, also with no option for hiding them. Just looking for ability to 'clear the decks' and see essentially all map for optimal navigation. I mostly need to get there, not be there.

TOTALLY frustrating trying to use this thing! No way to save the route for later (when I will be traveling), no way to forward the route (I spent a long time creating), and you click one wrong thing and the whole route dissappears causing you to start over! Online maps (Desktop) may be great (at least they use to be) but this Android app is one step from useless!.

The location of where I am going has to be tapped like 25+ time for it to let me enter an address. Irritating to the max. I don't want to change because I have always used MapQuest but if this continues I will have no choice. There have been times when I have needed an address quickly but still had to sit there and tap until I could finally enter a location. I have the updated version and that's when the BS started.

What's new

Turn right onto ....say that again? New in this version, you can now adjust the rate and pitch of spoke instructions right from the voice control menu. Try it out! And if you need to repeat an instruction while driving, just tap on the text instruction at the top of the screen to hear the latest and most up-to-date guidance spoken any time.
