Reviews for HERE WeGo: Maps & Navigation

Love the offline maps, but when offline I cannot navigate to longitude and latitude coordinates. The error message says, “Need internet connection”. Speed zones are great too. However, navigation likes the longer scenic route over the quicker shorter route. I would love to have the option to overlay weather info on maps too.

It’s getting better and better. The only feature it does not have is multi-stop route. The other “feature” I don’t like is, this app logs me out from time to time, and logging-in process requires you online, nothing is more frustrating when you are offline / get no signal and you need to access your […]

I use this on my Windows Phone and I can download maps without signing up. Why does it need personal info; name and birthday, to sign up for Android version? Update: Now the app seems to not need an account anymore. The problem this time is map download issue. It keeps saying I need to […]

Can’t recommend in it’s current state. Used to be great for offline navigation in the mountains. Got a new phone and this new version downloaded to it. Constant crashes and hangups/freezes. Takes minutes at app start up(screen is frozen) to even navigate the app. It has gotten some what better. I can at least search […]

After using the Here app for years, I am completely disappointed in the new interface. I suspect it uses more memory than the last version, causing the app to crash on my basic smartphone. I enjoyed the simplicity of the original Here app which worked. Now, it takes forever just to load a single address, […]

This used to be a great app. I have used it for a long time and only after this new update i am forced to use something else. In offline mode – 1) it doesn’t search as good now. Says can’t fi d go online! 2) it used to show 3 routes now only 1. […]

It’s slightly better than average especially considering it is free. IMO it is one of the best free navigation apps that work offline. However, directions sometimes are confusing and it does not have “junction view” like now defunct Navigon. The most annoying thing is that it cannot sort favorites by distance from the current location. […]

Installed in Truck on Android Radio… Haven’t Updated in Over a Year. Works fine with no internet, but I keep the view set to ‘night mode’ to increase visibility in daylight hours (the high contrast view is much preferred). Four stars instead of five due to the potential for additional features. I like not having […]

EPIC FAIL on first real tryout. I tried using it to get navigate a 38 mile drive on a route I drive almost daily. First, it skipped a useful shortcut I always take (originally found via Google Maps). A few miles later, defying all logic, this app directed me into a subdivision to a dead […]

HERE is a shell of what it once was. For some reason, they decided to remove the easy to use navigation for a more complicated one. They replaced the isometric view that would show what’s coming with a very limited bird’s eye view. The great selection of voices (like surfer) have been replaced with a […]

Tested a 2nd time after a couple years. Bluetooth has improved. But still the maps only give directions. It does not show road closures, acting as if the road is open. I verified 2, 1 even after a week closure. Trip times do not account for heavy rush hour traffic. Instead only adding a couple […]

After using this app for a few weeks now, I want to rate higher but can’t. I’m sending in my thoughts through the app’s comments but the app just has too many issues. 1. when you stop directly under a stop sign, it says you are still 70 feet away! gps logging is inaccurate so […]

This is not worth downloading. First, the app gives way too much info during navigation. Second, I never arrived at any of the destinations programmed. I always ended up stopping navigation at the destination with this app, still giving directions to the destination, never announcing, “you have arrived”. I un-installed it. Got MapQuest instead. Works […]

This app is godawful! I almost got into an accident because of it! It freezes/glitches right when I need to make a turn, meaning I wind up missing my turn and then have to hope the app successfully reroutes me. It told me to go the wrong way down a very busy one-way street in […]

App is a great alternative to google maps IF AND ONLY IF YOU DON’T USE ANDROID AUTO. The Android Auto experience is horrible if you want to look at the map without navigation started. UI blocks half the view, cannot be hidden. If your car, like mine, had a physical joystick or knob instead of […]

Works well! It sometimes sends me an odd way but so far that’s actually worked out better than if I’d taken a traditional route. I’d much prefer side streets to being stuck in traffic on a freeway and so far this app has done a phenomenal job at respecting that. My only nitpicks are when […]

Absolutely fantastic, I switched after 20 years of using Waze as apparently Waze decided it’s users didn’t actually need to have any saved locations. HWG has been fantastic, I honestly only have one complaint. If I don’t need to turn or take an exit . . . SHUT UP! I don’t need to be constantly […]

I used Saved places religiously in Google Maps and appreciated the ability to see ALL my saved places on a map, no matter the category. For example, I could easily see if one of my favorite stores was near a restaurant I wanted to try, even if they were in separate collections. I can’t do […]

At the very beginning I loved this app but the whole point of having a GPS through a map app is to get good itineraries. I used it for 3 months and realized it always gave longer itineraries than google maps. I don’t like google maps very much but when I have to drive 20 […]

Love the data privacy! It’s about 85% accurate on route suggestions and realtime traffic, speed limits, lane guidance. Good enough I’ve used it for >6 months. Show stopper is POI information. It’s missing many POIs (vs Google or Apple Maps in the US) when searching by location names. Finding nearby POIs by general search (restaurant, […]
