Navfree is the world’s first FREE ‘onboard’ professional GPS navigation software, with turn-by-turn directions, voice guidance, auto-rerouting, live 'Google' Search, for the iPhone and iPad.
Navfree GPS Live does everything you would expect from expensive in-car GPS/satellite navigation and more. Users can search for an address, point-of-interest, or Google search for a location and be instantly routed with full voiced directions. Navfree re-routes automatically if you take a wrong turn, provides information on the journey distance and estimated time of arrival.
All you social media freaks will love this: the latest version now includes new Social Location features allow users to instantly navigate to each other, instantly sharing their position via SMS, Email, Twitter and Facebook. Not bad ehh?
So, how does it work exactly? Navfree uses map data from OpenStreetMap(OSM), often referred to as the Wikipedia of maps, which allows us to provide you with full GPS navigation at no cost to you. OpenStreetMap is an open source mapping system that was created by over 250,000+ users and as such the map data is free to use. As the maps are open and rely on users creating and updating them there will be a chance that some of the maps are incorrect or missing all together, especially in more rural areas. The good news is you can add & improve the map yourself by getting involved at OpenStreetMap, using one of the freely available map editors or simply use Navfree’s inbuilt map report tool to send mapping errors!
