Scout Maps & Safer Navigation Customer Insights

1. The bad (but easily fixable): the map needs more contrast between the streets and blocks, it can be hard to distinguish where the upcoming turns are; "add a stop" is missing; "search along route" feature is missing; search doesn't find some landmarks.I have only once been misled by this app and it was because I made the mistake by putting "street" instead if "road" in the destination.

2. Save some time, and potentially save your own life by going with an alternative GPS app because this one is just plain dangerous and should be removed.The new update is HORRIBLE! I've been using scout for years but I think I'm done.

3. Although certain roads are open with no delays, the app seems to think the road does not go through the whole way, so has me making turns to avoid one small section of the road, & get back onto it about 1/2 mile further down! When I could just go straight thru.

4. I use this when I go on all my business trips, forget the navigation system in the cars, this outshines them all! Wish List: would like to have options for the computer voice, would also like to slow down the speed of the computer voice !The new update is horrible.

5. I noticed that after the update, the distance in which you need to turn down a certain street or to switch lanes on the interstate is not precise...the distance on the map makes it look further than it actually is when it's really closer.

6. Ruined what was a really solid app.Looking for a viable alternative to the awful Google Maps and Scout is SO close.

7. I'm done with scout for now.I have been using Scout for many years, the print is very bold & large enough for driving.

8. That option is no longer there.Why have microprint when a person has to drive a car? Who can see something like that? I need glasses and a magnifying glass, which is just rediculous..Very basic & info does not appear to be updated.

9. Avoid Hwys is turned off in options so the route info is correct but the GPS is getting less intelligent constantly.

10. STILL NO NIGHT MODE!Buggy!! Worked great when I first installed and prefer this over Google Maps.

11. Also, doesn't give me much of a heads up on delays coming up.By far the best navigation app anywhere! I have never had a misdirection or a wrong route or ended up in a field or a lake ever.
