Alternative Google Maps on Android


Here is short review on google store which can be alternative to google maps, these 8 are fantastic  applications and maybe you would like install on your device.

1. HERE Maps


HERE Maps is probably the leading choice when it comes to replacement of Google Maps on Android. With very detailed maps which compete with or surpass Google's depending on where you are located, as well as a large database of points of interest and now an internal map of popular building, HERE really stands out. And if you want, HERE allows you to download and complete maps of entire countries, which means that you can rely on the map even when you're in places without a data plan, OFFLINE Maps are fantastic. From exciting beta version of HERE Maps has added new features and worth it to see if you are not satisfied with Google Maps.

2. Waze



Although Waze actually now owned by Google and some of its properties are integrated into Google Maps, Waze original application and still lives in the Play Store. We doubt anyone would say that is beautiful Waze Android application, but the information it provides drivers are superb. You will receive information about gas stations (including prices), rest areas, food, work, deceleration, accidents and police activity along your route, so you can avoid the slow route and get where you're going. Many will be happy with Waze data that are now available in Google Maps, or if you want to contribute back or see all the details that Waze offers keep it installed.

Scout GPS is an interesting application that offers maps, and social integration with built-in chat and meetings. Get OpenStreetMap maps with traffic, points of interest and parking information, and the ability to coordinate with your friends so you can easily find each other. The idea is that you do not need to switch between applications to people and let me know when you're traveling or close to coming.

8. CoPilot GPS


CoPilot is one of the most popular paid apps for maps, providing full offline support and all the properties of the basic standalone GPS units you would normally installed in your car. Data on the maps are pretty good, but we must say that the performance of the application overall quite poor compared to what you get from the other above mentioned choices. With a price tag of $ 10 for US and $ 45 for Europe really have to love what CoPilot works, but it is another option for comparison with free elections.
