Navmii Offline GPS Reviews

by Bkdows

After the update, it only displays as a one inch square on my 6 inch pioneer deck display. If you can touch the right spot everything still works but it is unusable.

I've used the Navmii app for many years and always found it to be pretty reliable for GPS-assisted navigation in both the USA and Australia. The new unified version moves the 3-star app to 1 star for me for two reasons: (1) all my saved Favorite Places have disappeared (i.e., were not migrated over to the new version) and (2) Google search has been removed from the list of search providers meaning that the previously cumbersome search facility now takes 4 or 5 attempts to even find my home address in the US. I guess I'll place my navigational bet with Google Earth or Google Maps for future vacation travel. What a shame.

None of my purchases of Navmii USA and France transferred the new app. No response from customer service.
I will not buy those extras again but will delete NavmiiOfflineGPS forever.

Could not find me. Looked location and was going to share map for offline navigation. Google has the map and directions.

NavmiiOfflineGPS used to work wonderfully. But now it won’t connect to the server to download any maps or update. This has been an ongoing problem for many people I see.

POI on maps doesnt work like before on the older NAVMii App, i really like the fact that it use to showed new places on your trips for example cafes ,aquatic parks, gas stations,etc, etc

This is apparently the new, unified version of NavmiiOfflineGPS I've used for a while now. I liked it a lot until the update, but the unified version will just suddenly stop navigating for no apparent reason - my route and destination disappear and I have to start over. It makes NavmiiOfflineGPS unsafe to use on the highway because I have to keep re-entering my destination.

Don’t see any way to try this out before being charged. Agree with other reviewer that bottom buttons almost impossible to use. Swiping from the sides is also very difficult.

Remove Advert option doesn’t work any more. Purchased this option a while back but the adverts have returned.

I purchased the heads up app but I can’t get it to work. Is there directions on how to use NavmiiOfflineGPS? If not how can I get a refund?

Got this for driving in Ireland and Northern Ireland and have to say generally a good app. Great for showing the road and telling you about roundabouts. I highly recommend getting it with telling you where the cameras are because it does help the driver.

What I don’t like is historical places (NewGrange, Cliffs of Moher, and more) weren’t listed and had a real hard time finding B&Bs (I don’t believe specific addresses are always in here).

What I’ll call it is a poor mans Google Maps but better than many other things you might use.

Decent app with offline support, but needs Carplay support for higher rating.

by BizzleYoung

Used the series off these apps for a long time...can’t beat free. Only complaint/suggestion is when will we see Apple CarPlay support??

Used NAVFREE UK & ROI last year (2012) while i travelled Peak District, Lake District, and went across Yorkshire Dales North Yorkshire. Most of the time through small unnamed back road close to the C2C walkway. It was the first time I used NavmiiOfflineGPS. I was not sure how accurate ad reliable it was, so I also got a GPS (sat nav) from car rental too. NAVFREE proved to be more useful, providing better route options, and bigger screen (on iPad).
I'm going to UK again this summer. And this time I'll use NAVFREE, and save GPS rental money for more English Heritage visits.

On a 5-day road trip around the UK, a good chunk of it in areas with little to no phone signal, NavmiiOfflineGPS steered me from one spot to the next with plenty of advance warning for turns and speedy recalculating when I went off track. The only bobble was when it sent me to an address about 500 feet from my actual destination, because the two locations had similar names. I'm buying the US map right away.

I have tested NavmiiOfflineGPS and many others that claim to give off-line voice navigation.
I find this to be the best of them all. The maps are updated regularly and NavmiiOfflineGPS itself is very easy and simple to use.
I have no hesitation in rating the free offline part of NavmiiOfflineGPS with 5-stars... It gets better... Again 5-stars when you are on line.
Of course the paid features would be better!

Used NavmiiOfflineGPS for 3 weeks on the road in some of the remotest parts of Ireland where data signals for travelers are virtually non-existent! It even works in airplane mode!! The only downside is it picks your route for you but the trick around that is to pick a way point on a road you want to take. Depending on how long your journey is, you may have do this a couple of times. Wished I'd known about NavmiiOfflineGPS for our 3 weeks in the Scottish Highlands...would have saved us a lot of data charges.

This is among the best if not the best offline navigation app. Please update to support Apple CarPlay and to go ‘back to the previous screen’ when the user swipes on the screen from the top left to top right. Since iOS 13.4, third-party apps can finally be made to work on the dashboard, too.

Used it for my holiday - UK version works geat, just lacks some POI (can't find Buckingham Palace), but Spain version is huge dissapointment: in Lanzarote navigation to specifc address doesn't work without internet connection and it cannot navigate to the airport (No route planned)

Interface is realy nice, just some smalls things could be improved:

1. When you want to access menu from map screen, button is very small and located on bottom left - not easy to press while driving.

2. When you access an address from the Navigate -> Favourites (which can be renamed - very usefull) it shows unnessecary menu screen with map and button "Route here". It would be better to navigate directly.

Overall, UK version is perfect free alternative, but would not trust Spannish for next trip.

I'm giving it two stars since it's free, but a lot of us travel both north and south, and there appears to be no way for search for places or postal codes (even the second largest city in Ireland, Belfast!) in Northern Ireland. And yes, I've tried both the UK and Republic of Ireland search.

From the Navfree support forums, this seems to be an ongoing problem, with questions about it from over a year ago.

Also, the search server for Ireland seems to be down a lot (has it ever actually worked?) - you can't search for a particular address when it's down. You can still view towns, but try planning a route between two houses in Dublin without address search.

It looks like I'll have just to pay $85-$90 for the Navigon or TomTom app.
