This app is absolutely essential for anyone planning to drive in Japan. I'm new to there and this app has made an astronomical difference in my drives. Unfortunately, my previous usual go-to, Google maps and Apple maps, are absolutely sub par here, having an app that's built for the unique environment makes a massive difference. The UI arrangement isn't as lightning quick as Google or Apple, but you'll get used to it. Definitely recommended.

It's definitely better than google maps but for a product you're paying it has many bugs. Like it doesn't recognize local addresses manually inputted wether in Japan to romanji so you have to pretty much use coordinates or find the place in the map. Second the description says it supports offline maps but does actually not support offline maps. But good app overall.

Good app here in Japan in English (but FAQ still in Japanese). However, on Android auto, some function (Convenient) are not available. The most important is the research of a location using the phone number...

It's a pretty good alternative to Google Maps. Although it's not free to use the turn-by-turn navigation, features like upcoming highway PA/SA cards and gasoline prices at nearby gas stations make it worthwhile (also the full English support). I am puzzled, however, that the toll prices are a little bit off compared to the actual cost (compared with NEXCO East's Driveplaza website for the same times).

I absolutely love this app. It is so much better than Google Maps which has recommended I drive down one-way streets the wrong way and do u-turns where they are prohibited. Navitime is cheaper than a onboard system, is connected to VICS wide, can tell you if parking lots are full or not, and even better, is in English. My only criticisms are 1) a few of the English commands need improvement, 2) it doesn't work in long tunnels, and 3) it can get confused if there is another road above you

Everything is locked behind a paywall??? Even super basic stuff like setting your home address is paywalled, which is absurd. Google Maps can be pretty terrible in its own way, but it's set the standard for the bare minimum. Like, great, you use AI to determine which routes I prefer. But I can't even mark with an ICON where my house is?! UI is also pretty ugly.
