Israel for Android

Just back from a month in Israel. After having so much trouble with the local maps and street sign as well as unknowingly racking up data charges using the preloaded map on my Android 4 I decided to load this app. Never once did I have a problem. I primarily stayed in Haifa where the streets are confusing enough without the road construction going on. Several times I had to turn off of the predetermined to route because of construction and this app immediately recalculated and put me back on course. So many features are in this app and you really have to play with it to get the most out of it. I did use this app to travel to all points of Israel and never once did it let me down. No data roaming charges at all. Definitely love the POI feature as well. This came in handy to find hotels, food etc. when I really had no idea where I was at. I will definitely get this app for any other countries I will travel in. Update 12-June-17: Was 5 stars but now downgraded to 1 star. I have downloaded the app again on an Android 7. Now I can't get it to display in English. There is one button (I assume I am in the setup mode but since it is in Hebrew, I don't know what it means) and every time I have tapped it the screen goes black. I have deleted and reloaded three times now with no success. I even attempted to press random buttons hoping to get lucky. I have no choice but to dump the app as it is now useless. Oddly the Italy and Costa Rica maps still function correctly.

תודה רבה על העידכון. עבודה נפלאה זה פשוט מראה לך את הכבישים במצב נתון שwaze פשוט לא עושים טוב בכלל. הרבה פעמים היה כמה נתיבים ממש סמוכים אחד לשני שנראה שנוטים לאותו כיוון ולא ידעתי בwaze מה לקחת מהם, וכמובן נכשלתי. במערכת הניווט הזאת אין מצב בעולם יש תמונה ברורה ועם חץ על הנתיב המדוויק שאתה צריך לעלות עליו

Locations that have existed for many years not in database. Not easy to follow and most of all, they did not say the locations are only in hebrew.

Great GPS app that is held in you device internal memory with no need for data service. I have found it to be very useful and accurate.

Tried a few navigation apps for Europe and this has the best navigation interface by far. The Israel version is just as good, the local database is very detailed, leading to easy to follow navigation instructions. BUT... This app takes FOREVER to load, not to mention that it will very often crash while loading (say 8 times out of 10). To make things more "interesting" it sometimes slows down to point where it takes several seconds to respond to a button push... In short - great navigational capabilities rendered almost useless by a buggy first implementation (for Israel). Looking forward to the bug fixes… ------- Updated for 2.2.1 version on Android 4S --------- All the above cons were fixed by NGG (or irrelevant on 4S) so I'm a happy camper now :-) Addition of Traffic status, speed camera alerts and satellite view FREE :-))
