If you are looking for an alternative navigation app I can recommend giving Magic Earth a try. Simple, clear and free. Nice developers that answers your mail. It even supports Android Auto.
Is this app only available in the US app store or something? I tried on my iOS device here in Australia, and a whole heap of other mapping apps are appearing in search results instead, when the query string is "magic earth". iOS App Store is even autocompleting to "magic earth navigation & apps" but no Magic Earth app appears in the results.
Don't know about Australia. It's available in Sweden though, so it's not only for US.
I don't think this is "free" in the software sense.
Well, sure. Free as in freeware, gratis, no charge. I haven't seen any ads either.
