Maps in Europe with downloaded map with no data useage
OK, back on maps in Europe.
Has anyone from another country taken their smartphone or tablet to Europe and used any map app with downloaded map without using data?
Example, Google Map, Here, etc...
Did they work well?
Did you have to use any data?
Did they give routing with spoken directions?
Thanks for all your help.

Can you run two GPS apps side by side on a tablet?
For example, I want HERE on the left for navigation, while Google map on the right to view traffic pattern far far ahead.

Google Map Information
I am still having trouble finding just what I want to use on my phone for a map as Viago is no longer supported and who know how it will work with each Android update. I did so love using it without data.
I want to find out all about Google Map...
Does it run without data?
Do you have to do a setting to turn off data?

PND Versus Google Maps
I just returned from a short trip to San Antonio, about 300 miles one way. For the drive down and back, I used my wife's Via 1535TM and used Google maps on my iPhone to get around town. I like having the speed limit and traffic delay views available on the Via. I also like the convenience of Google (or Apple) maps on my iPhone for the shorter trips.
Which one do you prefer?

Smartphones Impacting More Than Just GPS Use in Vehicles
It appears smartphones are making obsolete more than just GPS receivers in vehicles these days.

Waze problems on my LG G3
In the past, I have been an ardent supporter of Waze, and even recommended it highly on this forum. It has served me well on my HTC One and LG G3. One issue I noticed was that occasionally, the sound went out. The oral directions stopped. Today, after the voice directions quit, I shut off Waze, and no sounds (ringtones, notifications) worked. The settings showed that everything was normal.

Copilot Truck for Android-how to remove the stock POIs?
CoPilot's Truck GPS app for Android comes with a wide assortment of POI's--airports, attractions, banks, bus stations, etc that serve no purpose except to clutter up my search results and category lists. Does anybody know what I need to do to delete them?
