Sygic is no longer on my device. It used to be the best by far. Then it was 'improved' making it really difficult to use, especially whilst on the go. Adding favourites and waypoints used to be simple, so that couldn't be allowed to continue unchecked. Favourites are now just about impossible to add and retrieve. Maps are a featureless grey and route selection is very odd, frequently picking the least usable route compared to other apps, even free ones.
Cartograph Maps Lite for free version uses free, offline maps worldwide. They are very easy to download. Whole of UK is about 1GB. Find your way on any path, road, park, mountain etc in the world. Works on all platforms. I use iOS. It evolved from Nokia maps and has the great Surfer Dude voice his repetition is good for my short attention span! It just works. Offline UK map is about 1. Sorry, uninstalled this app after 15 minutes of trying to configure it.
Offline Google maps stop working after 30 days unless updated - ridiculous. It's ok app because location data is always available even phone is indoors in garage or basement and out of GPS range. App is using also GSM service for location data, very good It's for safety not spying purpose Neither work offline.
They shutdown when there is no wifi. Indeed, I don't think there is any Android satnav app that will work offline. The bugs make them useless. They are always seeking free wifi to cache up. Have used Maps. Just needed to download the area I was going to be in before hand. Not being a regular at the hiking thing Maps. It was recommend to me by a couple of people that do a lot of hiking.
They said they felt it was the best for that. This was a couple years ago, so I would hope it is still of the same quality. Sygic is my navigator of choice, been using it for some years and find it great, maps are updated regularly and are pretty accurate. Always use a in car charger as the battery drain is severe. Use it in both phone and tablet, great product. Sygic is terrible compared to what it used to be.
Much more difficult to use, less accurate and featureless maps compared to just about any other app available. HERE Maps everytime.
For OpenStreetMap data and walking Locus maps. For Traffic data - Waze or Google maps which use Waze data. Surprised , shocked even that OsmAnd is not included.
Mapping very good and accurate. Very responsive. Free version gives 7 maps minus 1 for the world map you must download. Includes walking and cycling as well as driving plus off road possibilities. Worth looking at. I can also thoroughly recommend using MAPS. ME too. I discovered it when I was in Hong Kong for two days, downloaded the maps using the hotel's website then went out exploring with no 4G.
It worked flawlessly, including turn by turn voice nav The maps auto prompt you to update them periodically too, so you're never out of date. Need to add that my favorite is MAPS. I was just now using it in Thailand. Their recent upgrade announced that they now do real-time traffic reports, but of course, for that part to work you would need to be on-line. Off line you get everything you want including route calculation, re-reroute calculation when you still get lost , can't do that with Google maps and voice directions.
Works for walking and bicycles too. And maps can be placed on SD card memory for those 'tight' memory phones out there. I also found the map detail visually more readable than other apps I tried.
I have used maps. Works fantastic especially since they keep adding new features; voice navigation, restaurants tagged, rerouting etc. When i wass in Roma, I used a app from Nelso.
Nelso has apps from all the big city's in the world, not so manu in the USA, but a lot in Europe. When you look for a map of just 1 city than it will be a good one. The app works totaly offline and can tell you what is nearby.
It even tells all about the atractions. Yes lol 10 downloads are more than enough. I've installed the app and it is trying to download same 1st map 7th times already.
Got 3 out of 10 free downloads left though didn't get a single map yet ;. I tried Navfree on my Pantech Crossover and it crashed a lot usually when entering destination info and did not handle street addresses well When it did know a location, it worked great It is a very frustrating program, it doesn't have a simple 'find my location' feature.
Support is poor, they do not reply to inquiries. Then again, it is free. Checking out OsmAnd right now. Thanks for the article! Wonder why You left out NavDroyd? It's a version of MapDroyd however does provide turn-by-turn navigation in both 3d and 2d It also uses the same OpenStreetMap which you can download.
Seems to be a good collection of smartphone GPS know-how in this discussion. Basically it lets you take any image file, and import it into the app by defining the datum eg. Thanks in advance. You forgot to mention OsmAnd. I found it great and on top of the list. Try it and provide your feedback. I want to know if there is any application that can be used on cell phone that is as capable as Cars' navigation system.
I mean can speak out the direction. If there is any please let me know any probable differences between the app and the navigation system. I found one very nice off line navigation program beta version. Works with offline OpenStreet map with coverage for whole world.
Not being able to nominate house numbers was the only significant limitation I found with MapFactor but there is at least one way of getting around it.
Use Google Earth to find the destination, go into Street View and position the cursor on the entrance to the destination and note the map reference in Decimal Degrees. Options may need to be changed to display the map reference in Decimal Degrees.
