If the plan to the update was to make map downloads fail it worked wonders. Every time I tried to update I just got an error. After I deleted the maps and went to download them again it just says "Your download stopped. Try again" I really don't want to delete the app and reinstalled because that might fail as well.
Can’t plan or do anything with it as on both iPhone or iPad Pro it shows as if on a phone so 12 inch ipad screen has a tiny image
As so many other Asian countries are listed it seemed odd that Japan was not!
I was looking for a backup to my dedicated Garmin satnav. First tried Apple Maps but it won’t display your current speed when driving neither will it add an intermediate point (or via) on route - only offerings to show a selection of nearby petrol stations, cafes, shops etc. Google maps also won’t display current car’s speed and also overloads me with too many points of interest on the map when I am driving. I just want clear navigation instructions and not every business that has paid for an advert on Google! Plus Google’s latest colour change used in its maps (2023) is awful for driving as minor roads are nearly the same colour as the background in rural areas. Why don’t they simply use the national road colour? In UK that is blue for motorway and green for A roads. Simple, clear, and understood by all drivers in the country. The above apps may be fine for planning a trip offline, but Here We Go wins out hands down when actually driving and trying to navigate a route. So I find I am using it more and more.
Been using the app for about 2 years and there has never been a map update.
As mentioned before, I really like the appearance of this app. However if I have the radio on in my car and am using this on Apple Car Play, as soon as a direction is given by the Annie, the radio cuts out and doesn’t come back in after the direction. So, basically you cannot listen to the radio and get directions with this app. Also, please have better voice selections.
I noted with current iOS version 17.1.2 app is not compatible. App disappears as I try to open it up. Can developer fix this?
EDIT: Another thing, which I find super useful is that I can paste in decimal coordinates, copied from my various map apps. (Needs to be numerical basic format) EDIT: I made a mistake below. I can’t use Irish voice. I use Serena UK voice instead. EDIT: I’ve only just noticed that selecting bicycle mode shows a gradient chart. Nice one! An AirPod in one ear and I get cycling voice guidance. I’ve been using this for years. It was reincarnated recently which caused a few hiccups but has steadily improved. I have a lovely Irish female voice (Moira) directing me and, because I’m a bit dozy, she says “LEFT LEFT” etc like you hear on the police videos! The app works really well for me, warns me of speed cameras and tells me if I am inadvertently exceeding the speed limit. I’m looking forward to it using Siri Shortcuts. I’ve no incentive to spend £££ updating my car’s built in satnav when I can get regular Here updates for free. Presently on an iPhone 13 mini and iPad Air Gen.5
This used to be a great app! You could download offline maps for cities or counties and click bus stops and subway stations to see live times with an internet connection. All those great features are gone! I remember adding tons of places to here maps that showed on the offline maps once updates. It’s was a Google rival with great offline support. Now it’s pretty much just a gps driving app. You can’t see live public transport times and most places are removed as they favour a gps style map. Awful to go backwards! It was better than maps.me and was like that vs what it is now.
Seems Amazon use this to help drivers find houses - terrible app, doesn’t have my street even on it so that explains the repeated issues of Amazon not finding my house to deliver to.
