Below, we've listed five GPS and map app options to try on your phone, as well as keeping in mind some ways to get more out of the apps you might already have on your device.
Here WeGo
This is one of the top alternatives to Google and Apple Maps apps. Here's Navigation app provides prominent features such as Offline Maps, Car, Bike, Public Transit or Walking Route Information, Turn by Turn Navigation, and more. Depending on the city, Here WeGo also provides maximum speed indication on public roads, allows you to book a taxi, identifies parking lots close to your destination and provides real-time traffic information.

Sygic
While Waze stands out for its almost playful look, Sygic (Android | iOS) takes a completely different path. The app makes no bones about its origins in old dedicated GPS devices, with informative visuals – courtesy of maps provided by TomTom. Sygic's main features are free, but the app offers the option to purchase premium features such as augmented reality guidance, which predicts routes based on information from the phone's camera, fuel prices, lane assistants and voice guidance.

TomTom GO
TomTom, a long-standing name in the dedicated GPS device market, has brought its industry expertise and database to mobile phones for different applications, offering features such as offline maps and directions, traffic alerts and speed cameras. As the TomTom GO cannot be lost, as well as providing traditional GPS functions such as lane guidance, it also uses mobile phone resources to update real-time traffic information, recalculate routes and estimated time of arrival.
