MapFactor vs Magic Earth

The app offers calculating route by shortest travel time, shortest travel distance or lowest gas cost.

From the app's settings at the bottom of the screen there's a section that allows downloading new and deleting no longer necessary maps. You can choose between free Open Street Maps or slightly more accurate and feature-rich TomTom maps. Downloading maps locally isgreat for situations when the signal is unreliable or when abroad, since you can use the app without having to consider roaming charges.

In addition to installing the app on the device's internal memory, MapFactor can also be installed on an external memory storage device such as an SD card.

MapFactor allows recording travel and replaying back the route later. It also allows exchanging recorded routes with other MapFactor users.

In truck mode, that requires paid TomTom maps, if you input vehicle's properties such as max speed, height, length, weight, weight per axle, etc, it will take those restrictions into consideration when planning a route.
