Been using the free maps for years and other than some minor niggles that I posted on my original review, I have since "upgraded" to the TomTom maps as they were reduced by 50%. I thought that 50% reduction would be cost but seems to be functionality! 3D maps don't work, the POI on the screen is hopeless, tells me my nearest petrol station is 14 miles away even though it's less than a mile away. Routing. Oh dear. For reasons it's just added an extra 200 miles onto my journey. Free 4* TomTom 2*

Great app, using the free open source maps. Once loaded, it needs no data connection so great where coverage is poor. Easy to load maps for other countries before you leave. It also has footpaths on the free maps, so I used it for walking - it has got us out of a good few map reading errors in the walking group (I'm the only one who trusts in electronic maps instead of paper.

Hi Ian, please understand that we have to make money to keep developing, we are not supported by any large organisation. Unlike others, we do not displayvads during navigation. You can also buy NoAds for 2 euros. Help by email please.

It is much better than most other apps in that types of road to be used can be prioritised. Sadly it is far harder than most others to search and plan routes. Overall I find it too cumbersome to use on a regular basis. I am still struggling to find an easy to use navigation app that will allow me to prioritise the use of main roads in my routes avoiding rat runs and narrow country lanes. I'd also like to be able to schedule break stops every couple of hours at places with refreshements etc.
