First Turn-By-Turn Navigation App Comes to Android, Hates America

AndNav2 is Android ’s firstturn - by - turn navigation app , marking one of the first instances where Android ’s wide - undetermined apps policy has put it at an reward over the iPhone . At least , in Europe . UPDATED 10:38 ESTSince the software is base on the OpenStreetMap map data point , the app will be more utile in some areas than others , as the map information is , at least in part , crowdsourced like Wikipedia . The app itself , though , is polished . The search and directions functions will be familiar to anyone who has used a satnav unit ( or even Google Maps ) before , and the turn - by - turn functionality seems hearty .

The main payoff with AndNav2 is availability , as their site lists versions for Germany , France , Denmark , the United Kingdom , Spain , Switzerland , Italy , Austria and Ireland , but not the US . This could be an exclusion establish on deficient mapping data for the country , but in any case there ’s no grounds that you could n’t deploy the British version and at least render it . The alpha liberation of AndNav2 is availablehere .

UPDATE : Nicolas Gramlich , the military personnel behind AndNav , got in tactile sensation to let us make out why there ’s no US version : logistics . Opening the app to running game routes through North America would require a much magnanimous server than the one they ’re using right now , for which the developer are trying to secure donations ( you know , from you ) . And frankly , the app is destitute , so go down down , quit yer whinin ’ , etc . [ AndNavviaMobilitySite ]
