Wow! So Thankful! – HERE WeGo Maps & Navigation Review

Just returned from a 9 day trip to Ireland from the U.S. We did not activate a foreign data plan, but definitely needed some navigation assistance. Even with good signage, few places on earth are more difficult to drive in than Ireland..left hand driving, lots of turns, roundabouts, small roads, busy traffic. I tried several different offline apps on the first day, each were epic fails (including Google Maps and Waze). Downloaded Here WeGo in Ireland while at our first hotel, via Wi-fi, then downloaded our next destination each morning as we went. Even changed our destination a few times in the middle of the day, with neither wi-fi nor data. Perfect! Unbelievably accurate and easy to use. Great design for forwarning you about which exit to plan in the many roundabouts. Once the maps are in there (did itself), apparently works off occasional GPS checks (free and consistent, even in the middle of the countryside). Piped bluetooth through our car stereo, clearly and briefly overriding our music. Great graphics, easy to glance down at while driving. Can use either miles or kilometers for distances and upcoming turns. It was spot-on throughout each and every drive. Rarely looked at the paper map. Even rang a little bell if it thought we were going too fast in a speed camera zone (lots of speed limit changes, easy to miss). So thankful! I'd have been happy to have paid $20 for this app- the only other alternative seemed to be renting a handheld GPS from the rental car company for 9 Euro/day, without the bluetooth. What a great app!
