GPS Navigation (Sat Nav) Reviews

The previous ap I used - Telenav GPS Plus was great, but is no longer supported on newer devices or IOS releases. Trying to get started just indicating where I wanted to go this morning was complex and time consuming even with having played with the ap a little a few days ago. Good thing I knew where I was going, because it gave me the wrong Street name for the first few directions. It then directed me onto the freeway as it should, but then didn't tell me what was next to set my expectations. Was I to drive 5 miles, 10 miles, er what? When it was time to get off, I never would have known the exit by the ap directions which were different than the freeway signs. Silence followed the exiting instructions and there were no directions what to do next. It suddenly told me to turn left which I was already prepared to do, but only because I knew where I was going. It did find my destination as I was driving past it!!! This ap is junk and into the trash bin it goes!

Excelent price, pretty good navigation, excelent menu structure with confusing and non-intuitive interface.
Navigation is quite accurate, on par with TomTom and Google, but display can use some improvements, such as "Lane display" at exits and major road intersections.
Better GUI won't hurt either.
When I tried to add "Favorite" destination first time, took me 6-7 attempts to find out the last step is "map" button. Couldn't they just say "save" or "add"???
But overall a very nice product, and you can't ask for more for 20 dollars.

As a data free program this is a great app for those have to travel internationally. However, there are still features that this program lacks. I would love to see a better search function to find restaurants stores ATMs and other features like that. If added, this will be a priceless tool for travelers

GPSNavigationSatNav is hands down the best offline GPS on the market, and I've use many alternatives in the process of looking for this one. GPS Navigation has more features for less money than any other app in it's field. It is extremely functional, and the User Interface is clean, fast and friendly. GPSNavigationSatNav could use a much better search function especially when offline but overall it is a good app.

I wanted to find a GPS app to use in the U.S. that didn't require the use of data and tried this one. It's fantastic! I tried it a few times here in Europe before leaving and it worked perfectly. And in the US, in four different states, in several cities and in the countryside it also worked perfectly! What a life saver. Using a data connection would have cost me a lot of money, but with GPSNavigationSatNav I didn't need to.
Thank you!!

Resent update change quite a bit, getting use to it I am now understanding the changes. GPSNavigationSatNav function is different as it now uses more map sources, not sure if this is better but it is more confusing...

However I primarily use it for the downloadable offline maps, I don't think there are any other apps that offer this so hey here's 5 stars.

GPSNavigationSatNav is marketed as not requiring a data plan for GPS function. BS! You require either a data or WI-FI signal to do a new navigation. Also be prepared for GPSNavigationSatNav to constantly lose your saved settings such as navigation fastest route! Be prepared to spend 5 minutes reconfiguring the messed up settings before using GPSNavigationSatNav ! Good thing it is low cost. Well now I have to find a replacement GPS with voice navigation that truly does not DEPEND on wi-fi or data. Avoid GPSNavigationSatNav! Crap!

GPSNavigationSatNav is based on OpenStreetMaps. This is great. But the offline map needs to be updated frequently to reflect the latest changes to the OSM data. Seems like GPSNavigationSatNav doesn't download the most recent version of OSM data.

Other shortcomings include:

1- Street Names do not support Arabic transcription. They can't be read.

2- Voice Navigation needs improvements. The voice doesn't help on lanes and which lanes to keep before reaching a turn.

3- Settings are not stable! Each time I open GPSNavigationSatNav I have to reset Ml/ft to KM/m .

4- Zoom levels are too far for navigation. The zoom levels should be based on driving speeds.

5- OSM provides "max speed" data for all types of roads but GPSNavigationSatNav doesn't use this data to warn drivers of over-speeding.

While I find it works well, it drains the battery even when not showing in GPSNavigationSatNav switcher. I've just tried denying it location services to see if that stops the battery drain when not in use.
The configuration seems to support it being a little better in terms of battery usage, it still keeps using location services in background. Ending GPSNavigationSatNav is the safest way.
Now the spoken directions have stopped working. A couple of directions are spoken, then silence.

I was dreaming of GPSNavigationSatNav. I'm so happy that it actually exists. Such a beautiful and refined interface bringing crowd sourced reliable data to my offline device! I am able to get directions to any country in the world, search addresses, pois and more. This will be a lifesaver in my car trip to South America. Thank you!

I've use GPSNavigationSatNav for several years now, and it does what I want it to do very well. I simply wanted an emergency nav app for those times when I might not have a data signal. I tried other offline map apps, but they were either too expensive or weren't as comprehensive as this one. Good value!

I use GPSNavigationSatNav offline on iPhone. Set navigation with free wifi at McDonald's. Almost as easy to use as a std gps device. Easy to see maps, easy to understand directions and reasonably accurate. Since it was free I forgive any outdated directions. Never gotten lost.

I like that I can label and store favorites much more easily than google or apple and downloading maps that work when I'm not on a network is great for international travel.
Japan travel time estimation isn't great though (Google and Apple aren't much better)

I'm blown away by the bad review I just and read wondering what software that person used. For me, GPSNavigationSatNav performed as well as dedicated GPS units that cost a hundred times more! I disobeyed instructions and it compensated instantly. It warned me twice that a turn was coming up. This navigator is A STEAL at 99 cents!

No response after repeated emails. I bought two downloadable voice packages & had to reinstall GPSNavigationSatNav . Now, the entire section where you purchase the voice packages is completely blank - except for the prices of course! Yes, you read that correctly - when you go to the screen to buy a voice package the only thing that shows up on the screens are the prices for the various voice packages. Avoid GPSNavigationSatNav!
