Following a successful launch of their UK and Ireland editions, GeoLife has brought their free Navfree GPS navigation app to the US, featuring voice guidance, auto-rerouting and turn-by-turn directions. The app is completely free of charge, with no monthly or annual charges. Later editions will also require no data connection, but this first edition does require data to search for addresses.
Navfree uses map data from OpenStreetMap (OSM) and uses crowd-sourced reports to update the maps with current conditions or changes. The app features a built-in map report tool so that users can send reports themselves.
Maps are stored on the iPhone or iPad, so no data connection is required to browse maps or create routes. The US version allows uses to search Google or Microsoft's Bing directly from within the app. Maps can be viewed in 2D, 3D or safety screen views.
Other features of the app include night maps, automatic zoom to junction, iPod library access within the app, automatic rerouting if you miss a turn, moving updated map display, detour features, routing options and dedicated pedestrian navigation. Premium content will be coming soon and can optionally be purchased directly through the app.
Navfree requires iOS 4.0 or higher and works with all iDevices capable of running iOS 4. Because all maps are included in the app, it weighs in at 1.76GB. Navfree is available in English, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Swedish.
