Driving is one thing that some people love and others do out of need, but most of the time using a smartphone or even a mobile phone could be a distraction potentially leading to harm. But there are applications and utilities that can transform this harm into a boon for drivers. These applications directly or indirectly help drivers with their cars whether they are driving or not. So if you also love four wheeled fun then here are our top 5 free aids on Android for drivers.
MapFactor: GPS Navigation
There are many navigation applications on Google Play that boast free navigation but fail as some rely on online maps; some have issues with GPS connectivity and so on. But MapFactor actually lives up to its claims and offers truly free turn by turn navigation, which is the best part. The application allows users to save their required maps on the device or on the memory card, whichever is best for them so that there is no need of any additional data or internet connection, and one can be mobile and get directions between places.
The maps the app uses are available for free download from Google Play Store. Map data is stored on your device so there is no need for a constant data connection while driving. This also allows users to browse maps anytime, anywhere without paying for data connections, which also means no costly roaming charges when driving outside city limits. The application offers voice based navigation support for driving directions and door to door route planning, much like costly, paid navigation solutions.
The app uses open-source map data from OpenStreetMap that has been created and is continuously improved by as many as 400,000 users around the world.
