A friend with an Android handset is heading to the States in a week or so and is looking for a satnav app that can use offline maps. My suggestion was Skobbler which I have on an iPhone. I don't know what's available for Android though. Any suggestions of anything else more recent?
CoPilot USA.
NavFree?
If it's for a hire car, DD, you can easily get one. The SUV (natch) I had in California a couple of months back had a very good satnav system. With a seriously sexy voice...."Turn right on to Avenue of the [i][b]Staaaarrsss[/i][/b]" 🙂
navfree works well for me when in the LA area
Google maps?
Sygic doesn't cost on data either,
@O'Flashearty, I mentioned that. However, the cars at which they're looking to rent don't have SatNav in them and the hire companies are looking at £9ish a day to rent one. 😯
@Cougar, I'll mention that to them, thanks.
@ohnohesback, doesn't NavFree use data or can you download maps relevant to your area?
Google maps would be excellent yes, but also uses data no?
I downloaded UK mapping. US mapping was an option but I'd imagine that unless you were specific it would be a large download.
Ah right, cheers. Cheaper the better for them I think so I'll mention that too. I take it NavFree uses Open Street mapping or something like that.
If they have a UK satnav or can borrow one, it might be worth downloading a US map if they can. We did that with an old TomTom for about £20 and it worked a treat.
Cheers TT, I'll mention that to them. They have an old TomTom one so it might be worth looking at that option. Tbh, I think they just want to minimise the amount of gadgets they have to carry. They have a six-month old that's pretty much bent them in two with the amount of stuff they have to take for him. 🙂
CoPilot Live US maps are very cheap. I bought it but didn't install it, just in case, because it was less than a tenner, £6.99, IIRC.
Just checked, and CoPilot Live Premium HD USA is £10.99, that's for iOS, I don't know about Android, but I'm sure it's not far off.

That will be you, that will! 🙂 (Hope Mini DD (Should that be AA?) is doing well!)
We spend a fair amount of time in Florida and i have always used Navfree as it doesnt need a data connection.
It works well enough for me.
Waze would be a good bet, use it here and its great.
