### 1/5 — New user car

*2026-07-03*

In a previous review I noted that a few Y the user was directed to leave tf road they were on then directed them back on the road they were already on. Has this been corrected?
Yes. My problem is the map freezes then I have to unplug the USB wait a few minutes and hope it comes back on. This happened in Chicago, Indiana and Michigan

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-06-09, version 4.2.0*

Stay away, I put the app on my pixel, then when I got an apple phone the company said I had to rebuy everything because they can’t switch it to apple for free. Hey, here’s an idea, pay the licensing fee and you would probably double your sales instead of cheating the customer. If I could give zero stars I would, just use Google Maps, it’s free and 1000 times better and up to date. If the company cared, it would contact me but i wouldn’t hear anything from them. I should have saved my $100 and just used my free superior Google Maps. Stay away, stay away, stay away

### 4/5 — Auto heads up

*2026-04-08, version 4.2.0*

It’s too bad I can’t get the display to come up on the automobiles entertainment center.

### 5/5 — Süper

*2025-10-23, version 4.2.0*

Bence harika.

### 1/5 — China map

*2025-10-17, version 4.2.0*

Would you please add the map of China main land please?

### 3/5 — 3D buildings ??

*2025-09-29, version 4.2.0*

No more 3D buildings in town??

### 2/5 — Bike loading issues

*2025-08-16, version 4.2.0*

I downloaded this app and paid for the European maps so I could upload it into my Can am spyder as per instructions. Couldn’t get the key symbol off the logo which I assume is blocking me seeing it on my dash. Emailed the creators of this app still no response.

### 2/5 — Navigation

*2025-07-25, version 3.9.1*

Wieso geht die Navigation nicht mehr an meiner Spyder ???? Antworten Sie auf keine Nachrichten ???
Die Navigatin geht auf meinen IPhone 16 pro garnicht !!! Senden sie mir mal neue Zugänge für das was ich gekauft habe!!!!

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2025-07-17, version 3.9.1*

Difficult to use especially when connected with car

### 5/5 — Where the police

*2025-06-14, version 3.9.1*

You should notify where the police are just like Waze
