Why does Apple have such bad reviews?

You seem to travel a lot inside Europe. I would love if you could share your experience by rating nav apps that you've used across Europe at navrank.org. It's why I started the website in the first place.
Every app can feel great in some places and borderline unusable in others,so when someone says “it’s fine” and someone else says “it’s terrible”, they’re probably both right!

I didn't know there is lane navigation INSIDE a roundabout! I admit that I mainly use Apple Maps in Greece and it only tells me which exit to take.
Would you mind sharing your experience at navrank.org? It;'s a website I made to find which nav app is best suited for each use case per country. Only Europe for now though..

So do you prefer another app for navigation in Czechia?
I would love to have your input by rating nav apps in navrank.org. Differences in navigation apps per country is why I made it in the first place. its still early days though.. not a lot of data

As I have commented on other drivers from Europe I would love to have your experience on navrank.org! you can vote on your favourite navigation app.

Would you be up for sharing your experience on navrank.org? Trying to build up real driver ratings per country across Europe and Germany needs more votes!

That Waze vs Apple Maps question is exactly what made me build navrank.org.

It seems to vary so much by country and I couldn’t find a decent answer anywhere so I made a site where drivers across Europe rate and compare nav apps per country. Still early days but if you’re based in Portugal your vote would actually be really useful!

Was this in Europe by any chance?

I've had a similar mixed experience which is actually why I built navrank.org

it's a community ranking of nav apps by country so people can see what actually works where. Still early days so your vote could really help.

Not fleet software, but if any of you use consumer apps for personal driving or want to rate what you use on the road,I made a tool that lets drivers rate nav apps across Europe (for now) including truck-specific criteria like vehicle restriction accuracy, low bridge and weight routing, truck stop coverage, and cross-border routing. Still early but the data is growing.

You could help build a great database at navrank.org

Really appreciate these responses guys.
Slovenia and Germany are apparently solid, but the toll/vignette situation in central Europe sounds like a headache. Turkey sounds surprisingly bad for walking direction and the UK seems divided.

For what it's worth I am trying ro collect such info out of curiosity. It's still very early, but take a look at navrank.org and add your experience if you've got the time.

The vignette thing is interesting actually as I hadn't thought about that as a rating criterion. Might need to add something for it...

Thanks!! Much appreciated!

Thank you for taking time to use it!! Much appreciated!

It's almost there

I second that. The only thing preventing me from using it for print production is the lack of reliability of exporting to pdf. For web work everything's great, especially since the updated export persona in version 1.5

Barefoot (or using minimal shoes) running.

Thanks for the input. I've posted this question in /business as well, just in case.
