      HEREWeGo was awesome for nav. That’s all I use it for, not reviews, pics, etc.

      However, I no longer recommend it because Nokia sold HERE Maps to Uber and after the update it received (several years ago) it felt clunky and slower. I’m guessing adding in telemetrics and tracking stuff for their benefit was the reason, so I quit using it.

      I drive an early 2010s car with navi and no telemetry/SIM so I’m happy to still use that. I paid $100 to get the update DVD-ROM for roads and POI.

      Agreed, CoMaps is rough right now in US rural areas especially, however, for my county, I update POIs as I can, and download maps for offline use when I visit somewhere. Purely maps, POI info I look up or rely on referral for feedback. No Google reviews, no Yelp, nada.

      For purely navigation, Herewego seems to work. But again, no photos, reviews or any info about a place. So for me, it won’t replace Google.
