To be blunt and honest, This app blows Google maps out of the water. It's fast and snappy and allows me to plan routes for trips. Another thing I
have noticed is that, The cool thing about having this as an app as opposed to a webapp through the browser, it takes on my dark settings for my desktop. white backgrounds don't work anymore for me. So this is a great app in my honest belief.

One of the most important things about maps is updates. Some roads get temporarily closed, new ones are built. There are free navigation apps (gps) for Android like this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mapfactor.navigator&hl=en
