Cons
Con POI search somewhat lacking
Hard to find some places that are present on different maps.
Con Premium can be pricey
Premium features unlock unlimited voice navigation and ActiveTraffic can cost quite a lot at $29.99 when compared to other premium map/navigation apps.
Con Advertisement supported
The advertisements usually shown when the vehicle is at rest, and they cover the entire screen. There is no way to get rid of them, it's strictly a free ad supported app.
Con Very high battery consumption
This app literally DRAINS your mobile. With an iPhone 6s, one can drive just a couple of hours before running out of battery.
Con Can freeze up when connected to Apple Play
Especially on iPhone 6s and Toyota Highlander 2020 pairing.
Bad routes, slow to determine where one is in a few locations (for example, exiting the highway and the exit is located lower than the highway).
