### 5/5 — Overall, good navigation app.

*2026-08-15, version 16.0.3*

A good tool, for travellers.
Can input details of vehicles and learn the price of every journey.

### 4/5 — Lots of great features but ine annoying issue

*2026-08-14, version 16.0.3*

The app has lots of great features including toll costs for different routes and information about stop off points.  Layout is clear and mid-navigation you can jump to an overview map instead of just a list of instructions (something Apple maps doesn’t do). My only gripe is that the on-screen speed limit display is hidden under the Carplay menu on the right. Please fix this!

### 5/5 — So far so good

*2026-08-11, version 16.0.3*

New here but finding it helpful and interesting

### 5/5 — Never using google maps again

*2026-07-26, version 16.0.2*

I found this by accident while looking up some traffic conditions in France. I appreciate that this is just, simple. (I also appreciate that it is not google maps) It lets me toggle on and off what I want to see, calculates gas estimates. It’s no frills gets me from point A to B like a good old paper map used to do. In a world over saturated with too much noise, too much clutter, too much tracking and data selling- this is on point. My retro, analog heart was pleased.

### 5/5 — Detaillierte Maut Aufschlüsselung

*2026-07-24*

Berechnet die voraussichtlichen Maut Kosten. Das Feature fehlt in Google Maps/ Apple Maps/ Volkswagen Navi komplett, da steht nur dass Kosten anfallen. Waze nennt die Summe, aber ViaMichelin schlüsselt detailliert auf. Heute bin ich die Südroute gefahren an Milano vorbei, um vom Lago Maggiore zum Montblanc zu kommen. Navi hatte das so empfohlen um 30min. Stau auf der Schweizer Route zu vermeiden. Was er mir nicht gesagt hat: da kommt 100€ obendrauf für Mt. Blanc Tunnel und die Mautstrecken in Italien. Kein Beinbruch aber hätte ich gern für was anders verschwendet.

### 1/5 — NEW ADS

*2026-07-08, version 15.5.0*

How do I remove or stop all these new ads that I DON’T want to see!!

### 1/5 — Unusable and dangerous

*2026-06-30, version 15.5.0*

Do not use this as a gps in France 
It continually tries to take you down small road, dirt tracks, dead ends and even roads that are not existent

I have now deleted

### 4/5 — Apple CarPlay

*2026-06-22, version 15.5.0*

This is my go-to app for route planning and when I'm the navigator.  Please make it compatible with Apple CarPlay, not having this interface seriously limits its usefulness.  Even if this made it a paid app it would be a much-needed improvement.

### 3/5 — Helpful but ad-ridden

*2026-05-03, version 15.4.1*

Useful to find * restaurants and scenic routes but the numerous adds are a burden on iPhone.

### 3/5 — Not apple car play compatible

*2026-04-09, version 15.4.1*

Love this app for planning a route. But will not use it for navigation as it won’t work with Apple car play. If they sort this it will be an amazing app.
