Welcome to Navfree!
Navfree is a completely free navigation app that offers turn-by-turn directions, spoken and on-screen instructions, offline map use and address search and live search via Google and Microsoft Bing, among many other features.
The maps it uses are available for free download from the Navfree Store. The map data is stored on your device so there is no need for a constant data connection while driving. It also allows you to browse maps anytime, anywhere without paying for data connections, which means no costly roaming charges when abroad.
It uses high-quality, open-source map data from OpenStreetMap that has been created and is continually improved by as many as 400, 000 users around the world. If you see a problem, you can help to improve the quality of the maps by signing up to www.openstreetmap.org.

- Been using the Navfree App for just over a month now and haven't come across a single problem with it, seems to always gets me to exactly where i want to be without to much fuss at all, but if i had just a few gripes with the App that stop's it short of being absolutely perfect it would have to be the fact that it doesn't read out Street names and the Safety alerts don't seem to work.................. An update a further month down the Road and I've tried all the rest paid & unpaid and Navfree is by a Country mile the very best Mobile SatNav app on the Android market today and i still can not believe it's Free. The voice navigation's & directions are crystal clear and given in ample time and i also love the fact that it silently recalculates any route or driver error almost immediately without the need for the usual nagging "Make a U turn" prompts. It also seems to be very light on the device battery compared to all others and the Postcode finder along with Google search work flawlessly, it may not have all the un--necessary bloatware of the bigger guns in its field but if you just want to navigate from A to B without any fuss at all, Navfree is just perfect.....5*****
- I've used navworld very successfully in the UK, France and USA to navigate around, and I've personally never found any problems with the maps being out of date or missing "new bits". It does the job very well, there are a few rough edges (e.g. has to recalculate the entire route when the app restarts after a phone call comes through), but for ease of use of having all the maps on the phone and not incurring network data charges (and slow download delays) as you get with Google maps, this is my favourite sat-nav. And now I discover that my one bug-bear of having US maps in a separate identical application is eliminated, all the US maps appeared recently as downloads into this app as well so its brilliant ! Only comment I would make is that the level of mapping detail varies in some countries. UK seems to have everything, even the smallest roads, France only has the slightly larger roads - more than just the main roads certainly, but it doesn't have every smallest road in rural areas. However its still great
- I travel a lot and mostly use Waze and Google navigation, which are great Waze being the better of the two. However when driving abroad both of these are useless as data costs are huge and the other problem with most phone sat navs is if you go off route in an out off 3G network area you are stuffed as these cant download new routes, i once had to drive 30 mins in the country side to find 3G so my phone could redirect me. This app is not perfect but as its free and you dont need data and seems to work well, you have to download postcodes separably which makes it much easier to find locations. Any one who gives it low ratings hasn't tried it properly . Its a great free app and so far i have had no problems finding an address or it crashing on me.
- Very clear and loud voice which you can preset volume so it doesn't depend on what you last set your phone volume. Route calculations are much better than Google's maps. Maps are truly downloadable and very up-to-date. While Google's maps allow you to download small sections, it's useless because it won't re-calculate routes without a data connection, while Navfree will. Navfree works perfectly as long as you use the built-in Google search to set your destination. Don't use the built-in address finder.
- I hav'nt used it yet. I give to..... Two stars either way of the centre star. The middle star belongs to me. I am very new to mobile tech. I have saved very hard for this samsung smart phone, samsung smartv, samsung blue ray home theatre system and I now need time to save for router for the wifi and sattelite connection. I have 12gb to use before the end of 6 months with 1gb building up for the next 24 months hehehe Im stoked so please android give me one month before I decide Thank you
- To those complaining about the maps, it is the free openstreetmaps, not navfree fault, but if you wanted commercial maps then it could not be free as there would be a map licence involved. As for the app, it needs to get more stable and support loading GPX files (or google KLM files) One big plus is that besides fastest and shortest routes it has also economical (which sometimes makes more sense than the other two) and easy routes.
- Great Free GPS Navigation! Looks nice and 3D Voice turn-by-turn works excellent with fast auto-recalculating. Dark colors at night and everything except Google search works offline (incl. POI and Routing). Reservations are limited POI even with Google add-in and address search isn't quite acurate so I reality-check with another map. No intrusive pop up ads (? Yet) Gr888 for free!!!!
- This is a life saver app, I move to a new country and this app made this place home for me. I am unable to buy data plan but with navfree who needs data? Always accurate and takes me where ever I want to. Very reliable as I alway use it while driving with my family. This app is the best thing you can have for free, worth paying. Highly recommend!
- I took this app for a ride today around the city and it it worked very well. A lot of people are complaining about the interface and features and yes they are lacking but this navigation app is free and it does the job and that's all I need. Anyone who wants a spectacular UI and feature rich navigation app needs to look somewhere else.
- Easily as good as my Navman, updated regularly, very accurate and can manage a change of direction well. Only slight drawback is house numbers don't seem to want to play but I can live with that. On top of all of this it's free!!! What or why would you fault? Many thanks for all the hard work.
