HERE WeGo

In 2016 I met a software consultant from Australia who recommended Here We Go, and I've had it on my phone ever since as a backup to Google Maps. I like the fact that I can download maps and use Here off-line in Europe where I don't have cellular access.

I bought a new Garmin GPS for the car recently - the mapping app built into the new device is Here WeGo.
 
I also installed Here We Go on my Amazon Fire 8 tablet, and downloaded a collection of maps. My only complaints are
  • I haven't found a way to copy the turn-by-turn navigation directions to create a savable document. There's no problem with using it for a single trip, but I haven't found a way to save multiple trips.
  • When installed on the Amazon Fire 8, the spoken guidance feature doesn't work. The app directs me to the settings to turn on the voice, but the radio button that is supposed to enable spoken directions isn't responsive.
That said, I probably won't ever actually use the Amazon Fire 8 for real-time navigation, but it is helpful for advance planning of trips.
