About GPS navigation apps

Daily commuters, delivery drivers and anyone on a long trip or an unfamiliar road rely on them. Some keep maps on the phone so they work without a signal; others need a data connection for live traffic and search. Some stick to simple spoken directions, while others add detailed lane guidance and speed warnings. They also differ in how much map data sits on the device, how often it is refreshed and how much of the screen goes to ads.

What to look for

  • Check how often the map data is updated, because roads, speed limits and one-way streets change and outdated maps can send you the wrong way.
  • Look at whether offline maps are available and how much storage they need, since a navigation app that stops working without a signal is useless in rural areas or tunnels.
  • See how live traffic is sourced and whether it reroutes automatically, as a traffic layer that only shows colors without changing your route adds little.
  • Consider the cost: some apps are free and show ads or sell your location data, while others charge a subscription or a one-time fee for ad-free use and offline regions.
  • Check the voice guidance options, including spoken street names and volume control, so you can keep your eyes on the road instead of the screen.

How we rank

Apps are ranked by their Google Play rating (weighted by how many people rated them), their number of installs, how recently they were updated and how closely they fit the category. Only apps we've reviewed are included.
