Google Maps (And<\/a>|iOS<\/a>) is defiantly the best all-round navigation tool on the market, but that doesn\u2019t mean that it is always the best option<\/strong>. So, in today\u2019s 5 Apps, we are looking at the best\u00a0alternatives and what they are better\u00a0for.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Waze (And<\/a>|iOS<\/a>|WP<\/a>)<\/h3>\n

Waze mixes\u00a0social networking and\u00a0navigation<\/strong>. Users constantly keep the app up to date with current road conditions: traffic jams, accidents, road works, everything you need to inform you of your route while driving. You can even track friends\u2019 journeys.<\/p>\n

Here Maps (And<\/a>|iOS<\/a>|WP<\/a>)<\/h3>\n

Here Maps is a powerful navigation from Nokia which is used by Audi, BMW, and Mercedes<\/strong>. And, if they are prepared to pay, you can be pretty sure it is good. It features offline maps, public transportation information for more than 1,000 cities, and traffic updates.<\/p>\n

Sygic (And<\/a>|iOS<\/a>)<\/h3>\n

Sygic is a map app that tracks speed limits and speed camera locations<\/strong>. You can download a map of whatever country you want, so that even offline you are ready for anything. On top of that there is a voice to guide you, tips on parking availability, and more.<\/p>\n

Maps.me (And<\/a>|iOS<\/a>)<\/h3>\n

Maps.me is an open source project. Linked to OpenStreetMap, this app provides offline information, precise location tracking, and detailed maps, making it a great way to tour the world without using much data<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Citymapper (And<\/a>|iOS<\/a>)<\/h3>\n

Citymapper looks great and provides detailed public transport information. This city focused app provides immense detail to its maps<\/strong>, and helps you easily get from point A to point B on foot or by public transport.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s it for 5 Apps, not just for this week but for a while because I am departing. Hopefully the show\u00a0will make a comeback with a new host soon.<\/strong><\/p>\n
