Originally Posted by GoneNomad If you haven't already tried the "Here" mobile app, I'd give that one a shot too. While the Here mobile app will not do multi-step routes, the website WILL do multi-step routes, and the places on a multi-steo route can be saved, and automatically sync'd with, a mobile device signed into the same account. Unlike google's saved places, Here allows saved placed to be organized into user-named "collections." This means that one viable way to plan trips on wego.here.com is to save each waypoint as a numbered step with all steps in any one trip organized in a named collection. Another thing Here will do (unlike google) is allow you to download maps, state-by-state, that don't expire. Given the drawbacks I've found with the TomTom app's lack of route import capability, and the fact that they haven't even claimed that is forthcoming, Here is looking better all the time. Here's one key advantage Here has over CoPilot is the routing instructions are generally better, and Here's "detailed" (last quarter-mile) routing accuracy is better too. But the Here app doesn't have junction view and it won't even announce street names without the Hi-Fi voices, which Here no longer offers. But those voice files still work, and I do have them. Let me know if you want them. |

It is able to download state maps (279MB for WA) rather than in one, you know - Christine says my joke will get me banned so I won't repeat the word - 879MB file for the whole of Oz. However, Indonesia, where I have just got back from, is only available as a single 540MB download whereas, maps.me allowed me to select just Bali (plus some islands to the east such as Lombok). I would like to get the voices for the Here We Go app. How do you propose to make them available? Possibly upload them to OneDrive or Gdrive and share them. |
