A green pin where you want to start and a red one where you want to finish. The app will find the best route and avoid congestion, accidents and everything else in-between.

The app is constantly updated with the latest information and you can access everything from restaurants to precise street addresses. It has voice recognition, lets you create routes, explore with a “Street View” and much more.
