Looking for free and Offline GPS navigation on Android; Try NavFree

NavFree

Once appeared in Android and really broke buying GPS devices, as there was no longer any reason for its existence, constantly looking for the best solution at the software now. Can we have the excellent Google Maps, but what I really want is a free application that works without internet connection. 

The NavFree is one such application that is as smart screen, and does all that interest. Uses based maps of Open Street Map, a service which operates under the license Creative Commons, one of the freest license circulating software. On this team NavFree built the navigation service, which has the following useful features: 
  • Full navigation system with voice 
  • Beautiful high-resolution maps, 
  • Quick route calculation with automatic recalculation if we lose our way, 
  • Running gait when walking, 
  • Address search with or without an Internet connection. 
  • Landmarks using the Foursquare ... 

and ... all these (except Foursquare) without the requirement of Internet connection! 

Can be freely available but there are some services that are paid and include traffic updates, voices surnames, security cameras on the street, integrated Google street view and more. 

So it is relatively complete, is free and is probably the best solution for the economy, especially if you take a trip abroad and need a map. The maps of Open Street Map have small mistakes but we can login to the official page and correct, helping to develop the service.
