It very much has routing, route saving, turn by turn instructions, voice instructions and more. Idk what you mean.

    I couldn’t get it to work. Is it only in Europe that works?

    I dont use apple devices so i cant test it, but i thought it would be identical to the android experience.

    I tried 4 of these damn things over the past few days 2 were ad filled nonsense. This looks like a reskin of something else I tried. It doesn’t have turn by turn.

    Are you sure you are using the app that i linked to? Because you can clearly see in the screenshots on the app store that it has turn by turn instructions.

    Comaps is a fork of organic maps but neither has ads and they are basically identical feature wise.

    Turn by turn only works when you have location turned on of course.

    Okay don’t turns out I had to download the maps first and then it kinda works. Voice selection isn’t working right but will likely be fixed eventually. I just need to get used to it. Thanks.
