Free, fast and offline. Yes, completely offline, even on airplane mode, thanks to the self contained routing engine.

• Do you want to plan your walk for tomorrow but since you are inside the hotel, you cannot lock the GPS signal? don't worry, use Wi-Fi* (or cellular data*) to get your location without having to go outside.
