Ratings and reviews

Good but could be better night map to dark black hard to see! Voices correctly but screen shows wrong St sometimes,Got me there but said I was getting off highway on my work st 30miles away. Wish you could report & receive issues in the road ahead like Waze/Google maps such as road closures,pot holes, debri police etc like to have that! be nice to have access to my phone contacts that have addresss saved in them to easily pick from them to navigate like MapQuest app.

Pros: Simple, easy to use interface that can easily be configured to show as much or as little information as you'd like. Great for folks like me with ADHD. Also, it's accurate and has a nice looking interface. Cons: Could use a hazard reporting feature like Waze. Update: You can now type in the search box in Android Auto. The main wish I have now would be being able to reroute while navigating. Plus the reporting features. But it's not enough to keep off that 5th star now.

I use Scout daily for traffic checks. Pretty good job in traffic analysis, alternative routes, and safety features. However, it struggles with: -Saving addresses (can't edit home/work address after being set) -Map themes (auto mode doesn't work, relies on phone's dark mode setting) -Highway re-routing (unnecessary detours) -Overly cautious toll road avoidance (pretty much avoids major roadways entirely, even when there aren't any tolls available.) 3.5/5 stars. Worth keeping an eye on.
