Reviews for Route 66 Navigation

App crashes when I access another app, like camera, texting, Google Maps, phone, etc. App has often been unable to get a GPS fix. App doesn’t permit user to zoom out for a larger view of the projected map. I gave up accessing recommended stops as the app requires restarting the navigation which is a […]

While I appreciate that the app keeps you on 66, the app is terrible. When you’re following the route and minimize the app to do anything else on your phone, when you return to the app, it’s just a blank screen. You have to close, re-open, and re-load your route any time you touch your […]

NOT UP TO DATE.I paid a licensing fee to use this app. The GPS is not accurate and it won’t connect most of the time. This is in 5g areas. I’m very disappointed. It’s not user friendly and won’t let you pick points of interest along the route. It’s a shame, because it’s a great […]

My experience has not been positive, I paid the $35 for the year subscription and the location services do not work. the app says my location services are not on, but my location services are on and Google maps is working perfectly. I was really excited because I am a fan of route 66 and […]

We have just returned riding Route 66 and used Route 66 Navigation. It was great turn by turn navigation and was 99% accurate. We never got lost and stayed on Route 66, almost never hitting a highway unless Route 66 did not exist anymore in that section. It had all the points of interests and […]

This app is essential. It is for the most part ok, but has some annoying deficiencies: 1. If you switch to another app, e.g. camera to take a photo, it is prone to locking up & needs to be restarted. 2. POIs under “Navigate” not related to R66 (e.g. dentists, solicitors etc!) Why are they […]

We tried using yellow route 66 app. But because we where from another country and used esim it didnt let us use it even tho we paid for 3 weeks. And we weren’t able to get a refund:( so we just used the road signs. if youre gonna use it with esim you have to […]

Having just finished our journey of R66, we found this app invaluable. If you balance the cost of a few £ against the cost of flights/car hire/hotels etc, it’s a no brainer! It’s not perfect, there were missing attractions flagged up, but R66 is no different from any other road – things change. The navigation […]

A great app. It made our trip so much more enjoyable. There were some strange logics but otherwise, we were so happy we bought it. This is exactly the way to navigate through small cities and their downtowns if you don’t want to use highways. The said-to be-the same option in Google maps (avoid highways) […]

So not worth the money. Maybe if this app was free it would get 2 stars, but the navigation is basically unusable (can’t click off your phone or open another screen as it doesn’t continue in the background). It also can’t recalculate the route very well so we ended up getting very lost a few […]

Very nice to locate route 66 where most books fail and no other navigation works. The biggest issue is not to be able to transfer to a device other than downloaded device and I am not sure if it would work if you were to change your phone. It is very expensive when you pay […]

After further consideration I will rate this three stars. I understand there was probably a lot of work that went into this app and hopefully they continue with the work. The GPS occasionally messes up but so does every other GPS I have ever used. There are definitely some bugs that need to be worked […]

We had a few odd bugs. After recalculating, the navigation would switch from East bound to West bound. The information was also fairly outdated, including roads on the A route that are now dead ends. Overall, it’s still the best app available for turn by turn navigation of old route 66, but it’s no Google […]

Thanks. I’ll figure it out myself. Not going to pay those kind of prices when I can find free maps all across the route. Edit: Did they delete their half true response? You can get a free map at any Route 66 museum that has almost all of these attractions. And the ones it doesn’t […]

Downloaded app Purchased the year subscription. Says you can create a custom itinerary but I cant figure out how. Unless its “custom itinerary” is just regular ol navigation from one place to another. Trying to plan a trip and thought this app would help. Could have saved some money and just got the lower subscription […]

This app doesn’t work very well, it is not user friendly for creating a planned trip ahead of time. I click navigate over and over and there is no response. I can’t figure out how to create a saved trip, it won’t let me start one for planning. When you click on “places to visit” […]

This app’s free features are useless. Every time you want to navigate somewhere, you hit the pay wall of $36 a year for navigation, which from reading other comments, doesn’t seem to work well. So what are you paying for? The app would probably work much better if navigation would give the user the option […]

App is a great idea but the constant crashes, errors, and poor navigation make it unusable! I purchased the $30 subscription for my trip but the app crashed each time I stopped at a place (or anytime I opened another app when I returned it just showed an error: Oops! We can’t find your current […]

I loved the fact that it does stick to Route 66 better than regular navigation, and tells you about the little attractions along the way, but it does go through residential neighborhoods a lot, without giving the option to stick to a main road. Plus, it was $20 for a week’s access to the navigation. […]

This was one of three apps I used on my Route 66 trip and the one that works the best. It gave navigation to the route and kept us on it. At points though the signs seemed to go one way and the directions another but not too often. Here are a couple of TIPS: […]
