    Is this better than Here Maps? I have used it a fair bit for off line navigation on Chile and New Zealand and Western Australia.

    • +1

      I don't think it is. It is based upon the open sourced Open Street Maps (OSM) that is reasonably accurate va Here Maps that gets the map source from proper mapping organisations who work with councils and state planning.

        I noticed two street misspellings within a few blocks of my house. Doesn't bode well really. If a street name is not spelled properly, you can't find it.

    • Only recently started using Here on my Android head unit and have to say it's pretty good, haven't looked for anything else since switching to it.
      Using it offline, apart from in the garage on WiFi to see traffic conditions. Just wish could default to Driving mode on start up, I like to have it on for the overspeed and fixed camera notifications.

        You can start here in drive mode, the solution from this url:
        otofun.net/threads/danh-gia-dau-android-c500-va-cac-huong-dan-ky-thuat.1266502

        It is in Vietnamese but run it to google translate, basically you can run HereGuidanceActivity, only if your device is rooted:
        If the machine has root device can run the mode driver through the tasker as follows:
        Option 1: Create a tásk with the option name, select + (add) -> Code -> Run Shell -> and type in the command line (this way test success)
        Code:
        am start -n com.here.app.maps/com.here.app.HereGuidanceActivity

        But unfortunately, you have to root your device.

        Here is more details, using tasker and start here map in drive mode:

    • Always used Waze & Google maps,is Here Maps really that good?

      • Here Maps can run offline with local maps stored on your phone. it has better navigation features like speed alarm, etc.

  • What are the IAPs for?

    are the offline maps free?

    How does this compare to Google Maps and Waze?

    • This is what I am keen to know, given you can take Google Maps offline already (unsure about Waze).

      • How to use Google Maps offline?

        Sucks to have anything but the original NBN. I feel ya.

        Remember it at the polls

        • Better to write to the papers. Better when we had competition and not a monopoly on our infrastructure.

          FTTN / FTTB / FTTP / HFC has only a small impact on end-user experience. Thanks to Labor's speed tiers only 14% are selecting 100Mbps speeds with little difference between the various fixed technologies.

          Being unable to browse play store most likely means that @jeff9999 has chosen an RSP who sells unlimited plans and is experiencing congestion since 10Mbps should be adequate for browsing play store.

        • +6

          @mathew42: Whereas Turnbull did a better job by buying Telstra's copper network for 9 billion dollars and now then awarding them the maintenance contract to replace it all and we're now at 98 billion dollars spent on NBN and people are using copper wires.

          Seriously.

        • +2

          Oh we have competition.

          I was content on $60/m unlimited ADSL2+ and $30/m + call costs for landline phone. Then the government arrogantly decided to force me onto NBN internet AND kill my landline by ripping out the copper.

          So I:

          • Got a 100GB $70/m data SIM + free ipad on a 24 month Optus plan
          • Sold the ipad on Gumtree which reduced the cost to $50/m
          • For phone calls I buy $1-$4.90/m 'new customer' phone SIMs (Kogan, Catch Connect, Ovo, etc.)

          So instead of NBN I now have internet everywhere I go, which is faster than NBN, pay a max of $4.90/m for calls, saving about $37/m than with ADSL2+, and saving even more if I had been forced onto the NBN - because government also lied about what it would cost.

          Optus will probably have discounted data SIMs again at xmas. By that time any pro-rata amount I'd owe on the ipad for cancelling the first plan, will make it worth getting 140GB (or more if they increase it again).

          As more people realise this the NBN will lose more revenue, its cost to those left behind using it will increase, people will hear about mobile data SIMs, the mobile providers will make money hand over fist which they will use to upgrade to meet demand,
          and round it goes until the NBN finally DIES.

          Thus liberal gets it's 'wireless' network John Howard wanted in the first place, only at no cost to government.

          @mathew42: why would anyone select a 100mbps plan on FTTN when most can't even achieve that speed? The low take-up rate of faster connections is not Labor's fault.

        • -2

          @LlamaLlamaLamp: Wrong. The slow speeds on the NBN is entirely Labor's fault as the percentage on 100Mbps has barely changed since 2012.

          Clearly you missed my statement that there is little difference in speed tier take up between the various fixed line connection options. Go to the ACCC website and read the numbers in the NBNCo Wholesale Market Indicators Report. The reality is the majority of people want unlimited data and don't care about the speed.

        • @mathew42:
          to the extent that 18Mbps is only a small decrease from 100Mbps or 1000Mbps I agree with you

        • +1

          @SlickMick: Do you know how many people are on NBN 1Gbps plans? 176 last time I checked and 100 of those are part of the MyRepublic marketing stunt in Wollongong. By the end of the year it is likely there will be more people on 10Gbps in Adelaide than on plans faster than 100mbps on the NBN.

          If Labor had chosen to sell only 1Gbps plans on FTTP other technologies wouldn't now be in the mix.

          Interestingly until the Liberals made 50Mbps more attractive to RSPs by bundling CVC, Labor's speed tiers meant that 84% of fixed NBN connections were 25Mbps or slower so your 18Mbps isn't that far off the mark. Do you find it amusing that the Liberal's pricing changes have done more to increase speeds in the country than Labor's FTTP?

        • @Diji1: Labor designed the NBN with speed tiers which resulted in 84% selecting 25Mbps or slower speeds. At those speeds, there is little difference between FTTN, FTTB, HFC & FTTP.

        • @mathew42:
          All I know is I have the option of any tier under 18Mbps. So I get 11Mbps (12Mbps plan) rather than pay twice as much for an unachievable 25Mbps plan.

          At my previous premise in a capital city I tried 100Mbps but it was unachievable and I kept losing my connection totally. I downgraded to 50Mbps to resolve the issue.

          So that's 0/2 for FTTN.

          So long as we have to rely on Telstra proving infrastructure we have a big fail. The original NBN plan was to provide fast internet to all of Australia. Changing from FTTP resulted in a huge fail.

        • @SlickMick:
          We should go back to how it was, pre NBN and let it sort itself out from there. (I was getting better speeds, more reliability and better prices back then, on the exact same connection)

        • @foundit:
          From where I stand we are still at pre NBN status, relying on Telstra to provide copper line for internet, and having no hope of getting a decent internet connection.

          For the money spent a NBN, we could have made some huge progress. There are probably some people enjoying 100Mbps and loving NBN the way it was originally intended. For most, it's simply a waste of taxes.

        • +1

          @SlickMick: The issue I have is due to Labor's policy decision to implement speed tiers only a small percentage, 14%, are enjoying the benefits of NBN at 100Mbps. The decision by RSPs to offer unlimited data has further compounded the problem by adding congestion.

          As for 'originally intended', Labor expected 50% to select 12Mbps speed tier so for at least half FTTN hasn't had any impact.

        • @SlickMick:
          Aye. Before the NBN I once had ADSL (which I was told was oversold by Optus and resulted in crap connections). Then I had cable and it was stable, fast enough and reliable.

          Then we get the NBN using the cable connection, and everyone else is now using the same servers too and it's all gone downhill

        • @GregMonarch: If 100GB data is enough for you then this solution makes sense. Not otherwise.

        • @SlickMick: Was NBN ever planned to be world-class though?

        • @GregMonarch:
          Do you know of a modem that can use the SIM card and share the internet across an Ethernet network?

        • @virhlpool: 140GB - or more - in Nov/December. ;-p

          But my point was, a few years ago 100GB or more of mobile data would have been a pipe dream, and that if the price keeps dropping and/or data increasing… more and more people will be questioning why they have the NBN.

        • @GregMonarch:
          Just did a few tests. I see what you mean by faster wireless

          Nbn often 15-25 Mbps.

          Phone if 3g around 3.5
          Phone 4g around 60

          -

          My question was to do with sharing a plan with a house mate

      • Australia is such a big country, density of population fluctuating heaps coast vs inland. You cant apply one fix for the whole country, especially in the industry that is evolving that fast. NBN in this form is a race lost before it even started.

  • +1

    Only 1 thousand downloded so far from the store… Real app or fake app ???

  • Any reason to use this instead of Here?

  • Why pay for navigation when you have Waze?

    • Because (at least when I looked at) Waze, you needed a constant data connection. There are other apps that allow you to download the maps, turn mobile data off, and map your location using the phone's internal GPS.

      • You need only for initial routing. After that you can cut off your data and it will work just fine.

  • +1

    Waze is awesome. Even has speed limits and beeps if you go over.
    The Waze community is pretty awesome with updates about road works and other incidents

    • +1

      Waze sucks for battery life though. It's absolutely horrid compared with all the other GPS nav apps. Arguably, you should hook it up to a Cig Charger, but still..

    • I think the superiority of Waze depends heavily on the area though. Usueless for my area the last time I tried.

      • Unless in your area there are a number of drivers paid by your GPS operator, you can't beat Waze. Power of the community. The more the better.

        • That's a strange thing to say. If you read what others have said above, Waze has limitations that make it unsuitable for some users in some situations. Yes, Waze has some good features. But it is also lacking in some areas. For example, I tried it then ditched it.

        • @SlickMick:
          "Here" is pretty good (Nokia's) for navigating in Victoria

  • Who would want this when you got google map & waze? and they wanna charge $10.99 for it?!!! LMAO

    I don't even want it when it's FREE

      Don't know if this is still the case, but when I used google maps a couple of years ago, people were saying it didn't require a data connection - but it did! As you drove out of one area into the next, it needed to download the next map. What a pain in the neck.

      • download the map in your phone, you will thank your data usage later. Google offline map is perfect, doesn't make much space in phone, and accurate enough

        • I agree. But what I'm saying is… I was at home, knew I wanted to use google maps, got in the car, entered the destination address, and it wanted to download a map. Ok fine - my house wifi reached the car so I downloaded the map. Then I started driving. Several km later it wanted to download the next 'grid' but it couldn't because no internet connection. Something like that anyway. I forget exactly because I haven't used it again - I switched to using 'Here'.

    • from what I'm reading, because it's better than google map and waze at least for some situations. So while it's free I'm grabbing it.

      Your first line sounded like it was the price holding you back, but that has been resolved.

  • I downloaded it and the world general map. Before giving it access to my location, it starts off the coast of Africa, not far from Nigeria.

    I've been using Navigator, possibly not related to this and it only has a general map for China. (I am looking at a holiday there) this has a number of provincial maps as well.

    • I just tried putting in an address. It found the street name and then ignored the number I put in. So it can get me to a street, even a choice of intersection but not the actual number.

      • It also asked me to rate it. When finished it asked me how I wanted to send the message, instead of adding it to the Play Store

  • Is this better then waze?

    • No. Nothing beats the power of the community. I've tried all of the application, free and paid. Can't beat Waze. Waze has its flaws but better than anything through traffic.

  • "uses high quality data from OSM" not sure if the data has improved but I tried an OpenStreetMap-based GPS app several years ago and it was pretty hopeless, with streets in areas built in the 70s not even mapped yet. Not planning on spending hours per day on OpenStreetMap improving the maps in my local area when Tomtom and even Google have it covered.

  • This app was released on 15 Jun. 2018 … barely a week ago … and as stated in the app description, it is based on OsmAnd (also on the Play Store). I'm not sure the ethics of forking an open source app and then selling it on the same marketplace. In fact, OsmAnd itself has a pro version called OsmAnd+ which has been around since 2011.

    I haven't seriously tried this app besides a quick garner, so I can't say how different this app is or how much value it adds to the original OsmAnd app, but I happen to already own OsmAnd+ myself. This feels a bit like a re-skin then re-sell thing from first impressions :(

    Moreover, this developer probably broke the license on https://osmand.net/help-online?id=license :O
