Here is the app`s compatibility information: 2.3 and up


The number 1 free offline navigation of the whole world comes to Android.MapFactor Navigator is a free turn-by-turn GPS navigation app for Android phones and tablets using OpenStreetMaps data. Maps are installed on the SD ...

Very fast customer support allowed me to transfer my paid maps to a new phone android and I honestly didn t have to really do anything myself GPS works best with the offline multi line search One line doesn t really like to work though and google search doesn t work at all NOT the developer s fault Really nice very useful app Changed from 2 star to 5                     Stephen Osenegg
The biggest issue is the quality of maps I bought the TomTom maps and the maps within the city when there is traffic look horrible Its like a 10 year old did his best to draw a city map with colors that have gone out of the boundaries The roads underneath the overpass hide the purple guidelines Then despite setting up the vehicle parameters it has led me to such narrow and hilly roads Choosing bus profile makes it to turn 10 min route into 20 min route along the freeways I regret buying         Uday Simar
Looks promising but loses a star for not allowing tom tom maps purchased through play store Developer provides timely and informative responses Enjoy the features provided in free version Will ultimately purchase map if those single use store bought credit cards will suffice as payment method as I have no interest in PayPal or using my credit bank cards of 20 years                 Merlin Crenshaw
DO NOT SPEND MONEY ON THIS APP This app is horrible it crashes whenever I go approximately 80 100 miles on a several hundred mile trip that can get really annoying especially when driving through heavy traffic in a major city I purchased the premium package and the TomTom maps for the US all around 30 what an incredible waste of money I ve emailed the developer and I get the same tired response given to everyone else make a backup and clear the cache and data I ve done that multiple times and it still doesn t work How about fixing the app so that users don t have to clear the cache and data How about refunding me the money I wasted on this app UPDATE 1 The developer responded to this post with the exact same solution I ve already tried multiple times clear data and reboot THAT SOLUTION DOESN T WORK And I ve already contacted the developer by email as they ve requested and I get the same solution in response one that doesn t work And I will not reconsider my rating until the app I ve already spent close to 30 on actually works and doesn t crash every 80 miles UPDATE 2 I emailed the developer again per their request still no response I really regret wasting money on this app and it s maps UPDATE 3 It s been close to a week since I emailed the developer still no response     Jeff Tackes
NEW update 15 09 19 and still same problem with other xiaomi phone too How can I add my routes gpx created earlier on different phone with your app older version It just Impossible even if I click on gpx file or try to add with different app from my system Xiaomi mi max3 Global 10 2 stable Couldn t find apps to open this file Message received I have updated Navigator same deleted Navigator still same remove gpx and send it again via Bluetooth nothing helps Thank you             Palo Palo
Doesnt work Paid for the premium version and its so slow to connect to gps it always tells you it cant find a route even if you are on main roads I want my money back I stand by my review I have done everything possible to make it work For the money you charge it should be working the same as Google maps Waze and Tomtom go apps Refund still required     Jeff Witt
Well it s ok really I can t say prices are all that fantastic more info would be nice Like if I upgraded to the tomtom maps will the updates then be free when they roll out Can t seem to find a volume control Even though paid for a few of the extras the app doesn t delete the option rather just changes them to say purchased and always seems to ask for a google rating and option to donate when closing                 Mr V
At beginning this was great app tested over 30000km all over Europe with no map or POI mistake With last update from 20 July app crashes every 1 hour Now despite Google problems you cannot search offline multistep App started constantly to crush every minute It is not good recommendation for buying the app I would recommend clear uninstal             Miro Jovanovic
Hopeless I wanted a GPS navigator for my phone All this app does is let you buy maps for which it provides no operating system Either I m really stupid an non tech savvy or this app is a waste of time Spent hours trying to work out what I m missing     Avigdor Stern
Spy BEWARE Why need to access to my photo media files Why need to make and manage phone calls There are many GPS like Here Google MapQuest never ask that permissions All they need is only location AVOID THIS APP     123 Yesmail
The app has all functions required I like the fact that you can work out routes with intermediate points and save them for later use The current versions have a marked speed improvement over earlier versions The map display used to be rather slow now it is much faster Maybe you don t notice the difference if you use a high end phone                     Andreas K
Wow this is so frustrating after Google maps The interface seems not updated in the last 12 years I used to have Garmin app for the short while they supported it I thought Garmin was bad This Mapfactor is SOOO much worse i have a paid version with tomtom maps Save yourself frustratration and splurge on roaming Another dissent option Maps Me app In 2 minutes i was able to plan a trip in Europe The same trip which took me 20 minutes to give up in Mapfactor     Alex Ionine
Off line one line look up is working great thank you I ve used this for years on my motorcycle and in my car out of state it s always got me where I go                     Jay Edwards
Maybe it seems too complicate on the beginning but it s pretty user friendly when you use it frequently                     Dragan Jankovik
Google search option doesn t work But this app has accompanied us over the last 6 years to all unknown places in Europe Thanks a lot                     Shashi W
Concern about maps A road near me is dead ended from both entrances yet mapfactors map indicates you can drive from one end to the other Other maps corrected this at least 5 years ago How old are these maps Once you set a waypoint it will also apply to a new destination A simple warning would fix this when entering a new destination I really like it except for these issues The support team quickly advised me how to contribute to maps The waypoint issue has been fixed I ve upgraded                     Derek Johnson
I ve found that the directions provided by this app are excellent and the free maps keep getting better                     Susanna Gross
I like this navigator up until the tablet sleep option blanked the screen This happened despite the screen always on option being ticked             Kev Mack
Replaces the terrible app that came with my phone very nicely Battery hungry as sat nav always is Easy to see the route overview There is no help so it s a matter of guessing what the icons mean There are many options I think but without help I cannot work them out But it is easy to use as is I did download local maps first Certainly it s way better than the old app                 J Groves
Great app and fantastic support I love the layout of the navigation view as it s so clear and easy to read The speed limit information is a good size and the fact that you can use tom tom maps is great Add to that amazing support for a couple of questions I had I thoroughly recommend this app                     Andy Worsfold
Although I have only just downloaded this application I am very impressed My old Garmin nav is now redundant                     Bryan Fleetwood
When I first gave feedback I was fully negative because it simply didn t work for me After a lot of trialing and several download attempts I found the maps were corrupt due to network problems Now I m happy to eat humble pie The maps are nearly but not quite close to perfect The interface works well overall but is not as intuitive as it might be I need to think that through I ll communicate directly with the developer in due course                 Andrew Webb
Very solid app and will suit most users needs However I have a lot of favourite locations and while you can group them into folders there is no way to search favourites or nest folders to organize them better Also it would be nice to be able to see the distance until the turn after next so I can choose the lane to get into Often times I have to make a tight manuever if it s closer than expected or switch back and forth between lanes if the next turn is further than expected                 Lem on
This is the absolute BEST navigation app for Android As a long time user it s helped me many times and is great for various reasons The company is first rate for customer care to as they sorted out a query I wanted help with recently whilst I was setting up a new tablet A quick email to them and they sorted out my problem You have the option to either use the maps for free that come with it or buy to Tom maps There are a great many features for customising 100 score                     SkipSpotter
one line search is not able to find anything until I click it on the map thats quite useless if I still need internet connection for proper search why would I need offline navigator you need to make dozen of moves while switching between different screens to build a route with 3 points again I was using stepped search         Some Name
I don t have a data plan so this works great for me I ve used it in eight different countries                     Sandy Faw
Returning 5 stars It looks like problem was solved                     Me Metoo
I love the fact that you can define the roads that it will NOT take you down This is a must for those of us that don t like being sent down farm tracks Only looses a point because you can see features that you can t change but I can t recommend this any more than even given that                 Julie Shore
Mapfactor GPS free installed perfectly the maps u0026 sounds downloaded quickly as well After a minor bit of software familiarisation especially vehicle setup Never crashed once on a Galaxy S5 Then dragged the map over to France u0026 used the map to add a couple of favourites We use French National roads a lot It s directions are spot on Added one way point u0026 we got our preferred route with no errors unlike Navfree Tomas many thanks for prompt reply to the no toll roads option question                     Jerome Sellick
Alert you have selected pedestrian mode but your speed showing that you re moving on transport is very nice feature But why you don t suggest proper mode And there s no indication of current mode                 Illia Hai
Since Google Search was removed latest version navigation seems less reliable Not sure if both are connected Had to revert to a printed map today as Mapfactor kept cutting toutes short and sending to completely different destination to the one searched for and found Luckily we had a rough idea of the route so just ignored Mapfactor instructions and went by AA printed map     tin man
Excellent app The developers have vastly improved this app over the years I much prefer it over Google Maps since you can precisely control which streets you would like to drive on thus avoiding being led on a small country road as Google Maps likes to do                     Christian Gleissner
Please add voice features telling the speed when navigating on Bicycle and Motorcycle Profile                     Joshaphat Castillo
Can t find the route that s what I get after last update         Milan Zatezalo
I have been using MapFactor for a few years Using it off line is a bonus The free maps could also be used with Google maps Good app                     Irvine Howie
The best navigator I ve used The maps are up to dated and the voice commands are precise and clear Good job MapFactor my 10 year friend                     mehdi reihani
This app cant do anything rightI have tried it few times in Germany and it kept on giving me wrong directionsI am deleting it     Wrong directions
This is the best and most reliable free GPS navigator It is very reliable in the US Destination search is not detailed enough But once you access the map and figure out your destination the navigator will guide you through the best route                 The Best Free GPS Navigator
Ive downloaded almost all the free satnav apps and this is the best by a long shot its fast and simple but loads of options to change the look and feel The main plus to this great app is you dont need to use your internet so no eating through your data plan Another nice feature I found was the ability to use its own volume channel so you can adjust the satnav volume without changing your phone volumes for a free app its awesome Without question the best Ive used On HTC M9              Best yet
Not always work offline but in general OK app in consideration its for free             
Ive used this to track my location while driving hiking walking and traveling abroad or in remote locations Always works as intended                 Best GPS only maps
Far and away the best app to use with the free OSM maps If map coverage is poor in your area dont blame this app the developers arent responsible for the maps Go online and contribute by upating the map instead of whingeing about something that you havent paid for anyway                 Best offline app
there are lots of new bridges here in Bacolod City Philippines thank you              Please Update
I couldnt figure how to use this app before because it never seemed to find any of the addresses I tried with its native search that part still didnt seem to work for me yesterday With the option to use google search however this app is now perfect A lifesaver on the road for people who cant afford a mobile data connection                 Really impressed
This app is very hard to set destinations and departure location           To all interested parties
Almost There Its free doesnt cane the battery and is ready to use Most recent update allowing hardware acceleration is a massive improvement Keep it up              Almost There Its free doesnt cane the battery and is ready to use
Just keep maps up to date and be a little more precise with locations and u got the perfect app              Great app
Not perfect Surprised some streets were not on the maps but overall very good and reliable I use on a tablet that does not have a data plan so I dont have to eat up my phone battery and data                 Awesome App
Currently using this for the first time navigating around Iceland and have to say extremely impressed                 Internet Free Navigation Fantastic
Menuing is not intuitive Has trouble with some locations For instance it couldnt map between Salt Lake City Airport and a generic Brigham City location Plus side you dont need wifi or 4g to use since it caches the maps PS heres your rating now shut up about it        Hard to use
Love this app I have used this app for more than four years and travelled around the world I have driven in Turkey Canada South Africa and many other places Its a very rudimentary interface which takes a while to get use to Once you learn how to use it you wont have to pay for roaming mobile data charges Download the country map before travelling arrived at your holiday destination turn off mobile data get into your hired car set up MapFactor Drive away ud83dude0e                 Best travel app no mobile data
I could get around town without problems it quickly recalculates the route when I make a mistake very comprehensive voice guiding Its hard to find a street like when I search for Su00e3o Paulo it shows me a list of 10 Sao Paulos when in fact there are only 3 state capital and metropolitan region When looking for other cities even small towns it also gives me an extensive list of the same city and I have to test wich one of them will have the street I need POI also needs to be updated Very Nice              Almost awesome Free Version
Very useful appand easy to understand the voice directions Could be a little more user friendly though in terms of maybe a colored icon to set new destination and cancel another But overall good app              Very accurate
I recently purchased a gps to use while kayaking but it wouldnt do for driving As I have never been happy with Googles map I went searching Brilliant and easy to use Thanks                 Just what I needed
Thanks for transferring my license of TomTom maps to new devices They are the best                 What after purchasing Tom Tom maps
You dont get much for free thats anygood But this sat nav is grate for free and doesnt even use you data Just down load the maps you need including speed cameras and tour good to go                 Grate free satnav
It is value to download this software Ps Hi Developer Can you make Favourites Sort by TIME Not only AZ Some time i need it as sequence of time Thanks                 I love it
This app would be a lot better if you could free roam like normal GPS systems and the symbol wasnt some huge cross thing Fix it and Ill rate 5stars     Free roam
plus points of this map i used this app for india 1 it is free and you can download OSM indian maps free if u want tomtom maps u have to pay 2 Search facility is awesome I tried all other apps but they cant match this as this is using google serach for this andu need net connection while searchingonly 3Interface is simpleminus points Routing logic is waste it selects very bad routes with many turns and aviods freeway you have to use way points to force to correct route developer needs tohis product with tomtomaponia with respect to routing logic employed this onlydrawback for this app             
Ive tried 10 free nav apps and this one is in front of all Everything is intuitive and easy and OSM maps are almost good as or better than Navteq or Teleatlas or similar maps New version 6102015 Still the best                 The best free navigation
Was working for months but recently stopped downloading updated maps Cannot access map updates as page sits searching for 10 mins Uninstalled reinstalled and cannot access any map listing to even try downloading maps PC version crashed when attempting to install PC version apparently no device available for loading maps onto        Stopped updating maps
Its the best apps No need for Internet It recalculate the route if you intentionally go off Its smart Hardly any error Helps you to find places you never know in your own country Its fun and I love the voice used                 Its the best apps
It took me a while to get used to I love the downloadable maps and voices The search is very convenient Very happy with this app                 Nice App
So good when you have no coverage in middle of nowhere that Ive disabled google maps now                 Worth downloading now
Ohhhhh thats what am talking about oh boy I like that navigator its worth five star it works guys                
Planning routes is great Pretty fully featured app In general navigation was good Wish it gave distances in miles rather than yards Seemed like it gave good directions but when I was riding in very rural areas it got confused a few times and told me to turn on roads that didnt exist Phone was in my pocket so I couldnt see whether it was a map issue or routing issue             
The best navi app ever used by me Its free works with offline maps Speed limit warnings are really helpfulPOI although not extensive but works No crash or bugs so far Would be nice to have options for syncing with web Good work people ud83dude4c                
Certainly hoped for success but same issue maps less updated than paper maps 10102015           Old Maps
Address entry was a little awkward Plus couldnt find a feature to avoid tolls consistently wanting me to take toll roads made it useless Updatedexcellent developer support have added stars              nice interface but
Ive been looking for an app for navigation that wont use up all my mobile data this is it Thanks for your work developers                 No wifi or data needed
I like this app so much when I had Htc one m7 it works very well But now it doesnt work on my galaxy s4 It just stuck I dont know if my gps isnt working well I want this app back Please any help                 Gps
Pretty darn good after working out how it works I like that its in English for Thailand It does help if you dont read Thai             
A reliable navigator and map for travel this app has never let me down as regards to local directional accuracy and long distance travel Never uninstalled it                 Revised Reloaded Reliable
Great free app works great have UK and Texas and maps and navigation has been great highly recommended                 Great App
Like the Thailand maps Since update does not workNow deletingWhen things work why not leave them alone     Very usefulNow crap
I looked for a free offline navi in order to drive abroad Never had issues with Navigator Performs well directions are clear I just wish to be able to give exact building no but this is probably due to free maps I use                 Good reliable easy to use
