Freeware GPS with voice

wobbie · Apr 22, 2014

Hi guys,

What is the best GPS with voice for my Note 2? Must be free with off-line maps. I've tried Copilot & Sygic, both trials & I would like a freebee similar to them.
Much thanks for any advise.
B.T.W... I had the Garmin one, (free from the Samsung store) but it timed out after a year.

Why don't you just buy Sygic? Got it pretty cheap when they were having a sale less 50%

Thanks guys, tried that one as well. Navigon is great & it would be nice to find something similar.

Google Maps has an option to save the map to the phone.

I have been using the Navigon by Garmin one for about 2 years already, and have had no issues with it timing out.
Maybe try loading it again?

I tried NavFree GPS on my last visit. It worked quite well.

Every now and then, people are looking for offline GPS alternatives. Where do you guys drive where there is no signal?

I never expected to say this, but online navigation (Google Maps) just works so well that I don't have the need for offline navigation anymore. It hardly uses data and te maps are always the latest available version - no updating.

If you were unfortunate and silly enough to go with Cell C. Excellent signal, no data throughput.

Then you have to source the overseas map. Have not seen anywhere where you can get a world map to save on your device.

Never had this issue.

Maybe I am just lucky.
