Deleted - terrible app

It’s Lake Ontario you spineless losers. Deleted. Sticking with mapquest

Disappointing

I wanted this app to be better than google or apple apps, but it keeps giving me the wrong directions.

Do not bow to pressure

I liked the app until I saw they changed Lake Ontario to “Lake America.” I quickly deleted it from my phone.

Good map but makes missing turns

Has two show stopper disadvantages: no perspective view + really weird placement of route over the intersections (really the line is drawn after the place where the actual turn is). That made me miss my turns feed times. Combined these two turned into a show stopper. Also, no lane assist… Too bad.

Updates?

How long does it take for the map to be updated??

No bike trails

Doesn’t show designated off street bike trails. Directs bikes to dangerous streets. Also saw “Lake America.” That’s not a real place. 🙄

Useless with CarPlay

Seems to work ok when used on the phone but just loads a blank screen when used with CarPlay.

The developers response is that they are aware and to start it up before connecting the phone to the car via CarPlay which isn’t a resolution or exactly an option every single time you get in the car just in case you want to use the app later is it?????

Best Alternative to Google and Apple maps

Have used the iOS app for the last five days. Good experience overall. One observation - I have my routing settings to give me the fastest route, but the route list gives me a longer route at the top of the list

Great when it works

When the app works, it is by far my favorite nav option in CarPlay, but it constantly crashes and is unusable until the app is forced to restarted on my phone, which often leads me to switching to another app rather than trying to mess with my phone while I’m driving.

Best navigation app, lacks apple watch supplrts

I love HERE WeGo, it’s reliable, light and easy to navigate. But being an Apple Watch user, I feel like this is a missing piece for this app.

Useless on CarPlay

This may work adequately on a phone in a cradle, but using it via CarPlay it’s a car crash (all puns intended). Unless you have a destination preselected on your phone. Launching it directly via CarPlay just displays a grey screen.

Once you have got it to work, tapping on say the compass icon, the screen changes to allow you to pan up and down, left and right. But no option to get out of this mode.

Given up on this app ever working correctly and have deleted it.

They rename centuries-old geographic places to placate idiots

Why rename the Gulf of Mexico? It’s been called that since the 1500’s! Just because an egomaniac wants it called something else is totally inadequate justification to doing so. He’s using you. Don’t cave in. There’s no legal reason to make the change, so don’t do it.

Direction of Travel

I really wanted to like this app, it’s a nice UI and practical for what I need, but the fact that when not using turn by turn the direction of travel in not in the direction of travel is quite frankly nonsense. On what planet is anyone sitting there thinking yeah that’s fine, it won’t feel weird, or even be remotely dangerous needs to chill out a bit!

Great replacement for Google Map

Deleting Google Maps & found this great alternative. This is 2026 & it got it synched w/ my Apple CarPlay - it’s getting me everywhere I need- with ease. Great find - owned by group of German car manufacturers (BMW, Mercedes etc ..)

All the ding sounds!!

I wanted to like this map!
It’s so noisy!
It kept making ding and chime sounds while I was driving.
I didn’t know what was going on!
It was distracting my driving and causing anxiety!
Nowhere in the settings can I find a way to turn or can I even find an explanation of what those sounds are and why sounding off!!

This is pretty good!

I’ve been using for a week and I’m pretty happy with it. The route selection, the settings, and the interface on phone and CarPlay. So far lakes and gulf names seem to be stable.

Lake Ontario

Who knew!
We’re free from the nonsense of Google, Apple and have a superior product … wouldn’t have gone looking otherwise, but this European product is superior in UI UX, works in car and looks fresh and modern, not that sad Web 1.0. Recommend!

Wrong way

I liked the app, but on my computer screen I was not able to turn the map so that it was going forward. When I was going down the highway towards my destination, The map on my computer screen was going the opposite direction. Drove me crazy deleted the app. I may try again if there’s ever an upgrade, but unless the arrow is going the same way, I am I’m not interested

Best mapping option with correct place names

This app not only provides accurate directions, but it uses commonly accepted place names.

Bended the knee after all.

I was hoping for an ACCURATE map app that didn't bend the knee to our psycho leader. But alas, Gulf of America is on this map app. No thanks.
