Waze Alternatives for Smartphones

[Lew_Alcindor]

What GPS navigation smartphone app do you use other than the popular Waze?
I use Papago and Waze but the former stopped updating its map like two years ago.

Although Waze can be somewhat used as an offline map (loading the map while internet access is on), I still want something totally usable offline.

I also have PocketEarth but mostly as an alternative to Google Map and not for navigation. But I stopped using it when my iphone was retired (together with Papago).

I am now trying MapFactor GPS Navigation. I use the openstreet-based map. I kinda like it altough the response of the GPS location is not as fast as Waze or Papago. But the establishments you can find along your way is quite updated.

not sure if there is actually a waze alternative that gives up to date traffic conditions.

but , for other gps apps. i use map+ me and sygic. both have monthly map updates for the Philippines.

OA mga nag report by traffic situation sa waze. Nag stop lang ng konti "heavy traffic" na agad

hahaha. pero yung waze (android) nagtatanong na kung totoo ba yung mga reports.

like kung traffic in 200m, pagdating mo dun tatanungin kung ttaffic ba talaga.

kahit yung presence ng accidents, tatanungin din ng waze.

may speedometer na din pala ang waze (ios) sa wakas. hindi ko na nakita yung upgrade sa android kung meron.

I use Waze, Google Maps (with offline map of the whole Luzon) and HERE (with download Philippine map). These three serve my navigation needs quite sufficiently.

Doesn't Waze save map info for the areas on your route? I recall a number of trips where the maps were continuous even when the internet went out. The only difference is you don't get updated traffic info.

Yes it does. Ganyan ginagawa ko. Set the route while on the garage with wifi then alis na pag naka-set na.

+1 sa osmand. sanay na ako sa metro manila na puro traffic kaya ok lang naka-offline.

kaso kung sanay ka na sa waze na idadaan ka sa unfamiliar roads (read iskinita sa squatters area), di kayang tapatan 'to ng osmand.
