HI there, anyone using a phone app for navigation when touring and what's your thoughts?

I've read up on a few but the reviews aren't the greatest, just wondering if anyone can recommend one.

Cheers!

I have the free app Navigator, but only as backup. Using open source maps

I have used few times Google maps. Not for touring though. The big advantage of Google maps to me is I can plan exact route on Google maps on my PC in advance.

Then send it to my phone.

I also use google map, tweak the route on my PC, then send it to my phone. Used it today for a 150 mile ride, only problem my phone runs down really quick while using maps. Went flat within 5 and a half hours, usually lasts up to 2 days. Really need a power source plugged into the bike if your going any distance
