Category : Maps & Navigation
Move over Waze, there's a better app out there! The maps are more accurate, the destinations are more precise - even without using the What3words feature - and the routing is often more logical. The ability to recalculate routes offline is a huge bonus, especially in the signal-free highlands of Scotland, although it does of course there's a trade-off with timeliness of traffic information. The £1.50 to remove the slightly annoying adverts is well worth it. Now all I have to do is work out how to get it to work nicely with Android Auto to get it onto the car dashboard.
Good in terms of visuals (gave it three stars instead of two) but the navigation quality is poor (i've used it a few times and it made some quite big mistakes like claiming a road was one-way, and another where it told me of a road entrance that does not exist). I'll go back to Google Maps and Waze, thank you.
British-made navigation with only quite an obnoxious American voice for continental Europe. Cannot choose to share data for functionality reasons (traffic, etc.) and not share them with advertisers. Traffic doesnt display delay on map. Cannot report closures unless I'm nearby. Unable to avoid a spot on my route, routing itself subpar (doesn't avoid traffic where others do). No affiliation with Google is great if true, premium features are a nice touch. Developer doesn't communicate though.
I have been using Navmii since lase few years and i am satisfied with it. Its offline and adequately detailed. For some time, I have observed that many small roads arr not included in the map giving a sense of insecurity. My maps are updated one and recent. Google maps are much more powerful but needs data connection. Also, time to reach destination calculation is a bit on lower side. I would love to see more details in the maps.
GPS, Yes. SEARCH, no! Thought this would be a good program to travel Italy. It will tell you where you are, but the search feature cannot find anything unless it's a commercial business. And even that is questionable. A search for the Herculeanium near Vesiuvis nets nothing. If you use it for rail travel through Europe, the program is useless. It shows rail stations, but not if they are connected. If you don't have cell service, this may get you somewhere. But maybe not quickly.
The map display looks okay and the address search facility is workable. The offline map database is a considerable benefit over others. However other aspects fall short. • While driving around, the map position against actual position tends to have a 10 second lag when driving at residential speeds after you turn a corner. • The speed limit data is patchy where no data is recorded. • There are apparently lots of features to but with this product, but tapping on any of them is presented with a spinner that never goes away.
Hi. I like this app. but please help, it now crashes after i updated. it started, asked for sharing data which i rejected. then the app window disappears. now when starting, it has blue splash screen, maybe a black map appears for a second, then app window disappears again. i have android 4.4. please advice. i go on holiday in weeks. thanks in advance. when resolved, i give 5 stars
The offline maps work and take me where I want to go, but, one MAJOR issue is the lag in the gps. Its about 50m behind where you are on the road so very easy to miss junctions and turns etc which massively lets the app down. I also have tomtom app on my phone which is faaarrrrr superior and the gps positioning is spot on. NAVMII, please get this sorted.
I've used NavMii for years, travelled all over the world using it, and it's been brilliant. But something is now wrong with it; been trying for 48hours to load new maps with no success, cannot download from the server.
Great app, but the maps are extremely outdated, and the last map update didn't seem to actually update roads that were added on osm in several months before the update. Also your own user reports remain permanently (at least client side), unless you manually remove them, no matter how temporary of a report it is. The app will still route you through roads you've reported as closed too.
A nice looking interface, but maps are not updated. When you make a traffic incident report, for example, placing a police car, it will stay there for weeks. Only nice feature is what 3 words integration, but it is never my go to nav app.
This is my go-to map. Regularly I use other maps and when they stop working I always get back to use this one because of it offline ability. Even with hiking trails this most of the time let's me know where we are and I navigate the trail with it. The idea that I can give feedback is also fun.
Was happy with it but sometimes despite updates it has moments when route changes to something completely different during trip! Unacceptable!! So will be switching definitely to smthing else! Update. After giving it another chance the issue persists and it seems to be acting on purpose especially taking to consideration lack of response in the comments from apps devs.
Just deleted this app after using it for about 6 weeks. I was after a off line app after here updated their app and made it ridiculous. I like some of navmii but dislike alot of other aspects. I've been findyit hard to find places via search and being a taxi driver it just wasn't working as I hoped. So I've deleted and gone back to trying magic which seems to be working better. I will keep popping back to see if any changes are made to this app but for now it's not working out for me
Liked this for the offline maps but, searching while offline is difficult at best. Found it running in the background, burning through battery and a bit of data, overheating my phone, if it didn't shutdown properly.
5 from me. App works, no flaws, tested against Google and Sygic, ranks equal. Purchased the HUD unit and this is the very best designed HUD display...and I tried them all. Unlike with other designs, where the info is scattered around the display estate (or not working at all), the NAVMII HUD info is concentrated from the middle outwards with no large junks of display left unused. That's a 5 on it's own! Finally, my utter frustration with badly designed HUD displays has ended. Good job!
Not a bad app, but unfortunately, the default voice is awful, i cannot bear listening to the dreadful drawl, and can't find how to replace it. I emailed the Dev, but haven't had a reply. Also you can't do waypoints/stops, which is a deal breaker for me. Going to uninstall. I'll wait a few more days in case the dev decides to reply to my email. If i haven't heard by the weekend, this apps gone. Edit: Going to uninstall. No reply to me, after i emailed the Dev. There are better apps out there.
Installed version 3.7.2 on samsung a3 2017 Android 7. It constantly freezes,always tries to update something, despite it is supposed to work offline.And now my gps possition started to float several streets up and down though sitting at home. Thos version is totally unreliable. I have the version 3 2.2 on an old device and it's been working without an issue for years.l'm uninstalling this one, and will try to get an older but stable version, or from a different vendor.
Best nav app when navigating..though plenty of room for improvement. I use Navmii, as when in navigation I find it the way that I like it. 👍 Waze I find buggy in navigation. 🔥 Apart from the navigation, other things need huge improvements. Search needs to be good as Google Maps, music 🎶 needs streaming service partner integration e.g. Spotify, Deezer etc... For search please 🙏 integrate what3words whole search engine. If Navmii does above then I won't need to use other sat nav apps.
I am not getting any voice over at all and have also paid for and downloaded a celebrity voice, which doesn't work. It appears others have the same problem, so what is the provider doing to resolve this? In the past it worked well, so presumably they have a glitch in one of their updates! In any event, it is money spent with no product to the customer.
By far the best free navigator. Incredible how many idiots complain about details in the maps, and how they think the "navmee team" should fix it, thinking this is a billion dollar company, acting like they paid for maps and not understanding the concept of open street maps, or anything else about this great open source community project. Navfree - the original - is also great, I actually like the interface better, but I use Navmee because of the HUD. These two has never led me astray, with the intergrated google search they can find absolutely everything, and if you find a thing in a map to update, you can do it yourself, I personally has never seen someting that wrong that I care to bother. In fact driving through Europe it found better routes than Garmin. Great job Navmee and the thousands of open streetmap contributors.
absolute rubbish! In my excitement, I bought multiple paid features also and it turna out that the map installed is in local language (Chinese). This is ridiculous! Also there is no where that I can change language preferences from! I've bought the HUD upgrade,but no idea how to set it to this mode. no help available. utter rubbish!! DON'T INSTALL/BUY
Absolutely love this navigation app. After testing for a few weeks, I have now uninstalled Waze and paid for some of the upgrades. It's one of the few maps apps that you can set for motorhomes, trucks, etc. One thing I feel is missing is being able to categorise favourites which would be useful for marking places to visit, places we can park our dayvan etc but that's the only thing I have noticed as a possible negative.
