    OsmAnd+ is a map and navigation application with access to the free, worldwide OpenStreetMap (OSM) data.

    Just a heads up that Here Maps has always been FREE and has close to 200K + reviews. Its probably one of the best Navigation apps out these.
    It also has TRAFFIC with REAL TIME INFORMATION for more than 40 countries

    • [Deactivated] on 15/12/2015 - 23:11

      I'm sure I was using HERE offline recently. I think it even says in their description on the app store that it works offline. But now it's saying it can't do anything unless I give it online access!?

      • easternculture on 15/12/2015 - 23:12

        i think because its due for an update.

        • [Deactivated] on 15/12/2015 - 23:17

          Do you mean I need to update it manually, or something else? (The phone is set - and always has - updated all other apps automatically.)

          I just entered a suburb about 70km away. It knew the suburb because it 'autofilled' it as I was part-way through typing it. But starting navigation then says:

          "Didn't find any results offline. If you go online, you'll probably find a route. This could mean using mobile data from your allowance. Go online now?"

        • easternculture on 15/12/2015 - 23:25

          @realfamilyman: It may need to download the MAP data first. After its downloaded first time, you can then use it offline

        • [Deactivated] on 15/12/2015 - 23:27

          @easternculture: I can't work it out. The map must be in there, because I can see my own location when I touch that green circle at the bottom right. Also my Wi-Fi is always on. And I'm sure it downloaded the map weeks ago, using Wi-Fi, because I have no data allowance and only a few $ call credit. (It would have burned through it.) So yeah, even if it needs a map download again, Wi-Fi is on. So I don't know why it's asking to go online.

          @realfamilyman:
          After installing the app, you have to download the map to be able to use it (offline) later. It is a great navigation app, but on some occasions, it refuse to work…

          @easternculture: Ok, just tried to download the map (again). It said, "Go online?" I said yes, quickly cancelled it, then restarted again. It seems to be going through the Wi-Fi (modem data LED is flashing). Guess I'll find out soon enough. Wish they'd separate Wi-Fi and online in the code somehow. [Edit: It's using Wi-Fi - data is still showing as "OFF" in the phone settings.]

          Say, do you know if it does lane guidance? If it doesn't, does anyone know of a free GPS app that does - that works offline?

          @hluu0111: I think the problem might be that I ran out of internal memory the other day - so I told it store maps on the SD card. I assumed it had moved the map over, but maybe not. Although it's odd in that case, that it's showing Australia - I can zoom in/out ok right down to street level.

          @tadinhah: Yes, I understand that. However:

          1. It was saying it needed to go online - to do anything.

          2. You have to go online to download a map. Which is obvious, and I have done it once before… But they don't differentiate between "online using mobile data" and "online using Wi-Fi."

          The map was over 700MB I think. So what I'm saying is, anyone downloading these apps remember to turn your mobile data off in settings first - and use your home Wi-Fi, or free McDonalds Wi-Fi, etc. to download the map.

        • Agret on 16/12/2015 - 03:45

          @realfamilyman: I believe what you've been saying is don't move the app to sd card or it breaks your downloaded maps

      Agree, HERE maps is the map app I've always wanted, and its free. Not some freemium crap, but actually free.

      I loved using it while traveling, turn by turn offline maps and loads of points of interest visible.

      • [Deactivated] on 15/12/2015 - 23:41

        I'm glad all this had come up actually, because I was wondering where to ask… Does it have speed/red light cameras? Or can they be loaded in (and where from)?

          It had speed cameras in the UK, not sure about here in Oz as I usually don't need a gps and when I do I use google maps

          @Jackson: Here maps wins :)

        • colblair on 16/12/2015 - 08:50

          Just curious, what would be the purpose of knowing where speed / red light cameras are? Unless you're regularly speeding or running red lights I don't see the point. Is this an in-demand feature?

        • Mixhael on 16/12/2015 - 10:42

          @colblair: : it is an in demand feature because a lot of people speed, and a small portion of people run red lights. I think it's a bad feature, but locals also know where all the red light and regular speed camera options are.

        • colblair on 16/12/2015 - 11:15

          @Michael15286:
          oh well, hopefully natural selection takes care of those people before they take someone out with them

        • [Deactivated] on 16/12/2015 - 12:18

          @colblair: Forgetfulness, or unfamiliar with an area…

          A few times I've accidentally gone through red lights in an unfamiliar town - during a heavy storm for example.

          It's got little to do with deliberate speeding. How many times have you gone with the traffic flow only to realise you're doing 15 over. And sometimes you just drift a bit more, a bit more… in both cases dings going off is a reminder to check your speed.

        • colblair on 16/12/2015 - 12:34

          @realfamilyman:
          Then wouldn't a better feature be if it knew the speed limit of each road and beep when you go over, regardless of where cameras are?

        • syousef on 16/12/2015 - 12:43

          @colblair:

          Overspeed alert is a common feature. All my old TomToms have it. I even set it up with my voice saying "Slow down speedy" in a Speedy Gonzalez style voice…which is hilarious until the speed limit on the GPS is wrong and you're rushing your very ill 1 year old daughter to the hospital in the small hours of the morning with your father in law driving.

        • Mixhael on 16/12/2015 - 13:55

          @colblair: HERE maps actually does show you the speed limit and beeps you if you go over it. Many gps apps have this feature. Speed camera warnings are there mainly for people who think speeding is ok.

    • MagicTsukai on 15/12/2015 - 23:42

        Depends on the answer to those questions I guess - and if you want those features… i.e. Which one has lane guidance, works offline, has speed cameras, etc. I was trying to work all that out last night and got a headache, LOL.

        • Jackson on 16/12/2015 - 00:27

          Pretty sure when I was in the UK it had lane guidance, it's probably map dependent. I am not that familiar with the feature but approaching roundabouts it would tell you which lane to be in and then where to exit and sometimes how the exit would pan out

        Even better. If a luxury European car is using Here Maps for Navigation, it must mean something !

        They bought it for $US3 billion ($AU4.15 Billion) which kinda tells you the app has potential !

          There's just not so many competitors as a matter of fact. And Nokia Maps were considered a good ones, although they miss some countries altogether.
          I was actually implying that any moment now here maps can disappear from the GooglPlay or whatever those car manufacturers will decide to do about it. Eurocomission approved that deal just a couple of weeks ago

          +1

          @abm77:

          I doubt they will remove it. Having so many users means they can capture real time information from the live device feeds to update traffic/location information based on algorithms built into the technology

          Nokia points out that HERE uses “data generated by vehicles, devices and infrastructure to deliver real-time, predictive and personalised location services” that “will enable an entirely new class of driver experiences, including highly automated driving.

    • aec on 16/12/2015 - 12:41

      why is here maps better than google map apart from offline feature? i think the only feature google map misses is red light and speed cameras.

    TNX! I've used OsmAnd free version for years. Now I would gladly buy a paid version. OpenStreetMap in general is way better and detailed than here maps. And besides OSM it has a grand selection of other map sources.

    • Jackson on 16/12/2015 - 00:31

      The ks for the feedback, but surely there is a free navigation app that uses OSM negating the need to buy this?

      • abm77 on 16/12/2015 - 00:39

        Hips of them actually, Just search for OSM on GooglePlay, this one is just the best of them. and btw there is a free version. If you don't leave Australia much it would be enough. It has just one restriction - it allows you to download just 7 offline maps. And there is a workaround - when You reach max of 7 downloaded maps you can uninstall the application and reinstall it again, feed old cards and still have 7 maps available to download.
