If you are one of the Android users who don’t find the default map applications sufficient,if you want to change your android device into a navigational tool,there are much cool and feature-packed GPS navigation apps waiting for you at the Google Play Store.And here I would like to share the best 5 free GPS apps for Android to navigate the city or the country easily.

1.Google Maps

If you use Android, you must be very familiar with Google Maps which is one of the most popular GPS applications for Android.You can use the app to navigate in detailed maps with 3D buildings and for driving, public transit, biking, and walking directions.And also you can easily get live traffic information to avoid congestion, a prominent feature is that has integrated the voice guided turn-by-turn GPS navigation, local search and business reviews.What's more, you can access the Google Maps Street View or you can receive information with Indoor maps for select airports, hotels, retail stores, and more.And also the app provides the voice-guided turn-by-turn driving directions.

2.Waze

Providing a wide community on traffic and navigationwhich connects you with other drivers, Waze is really a cool GPS app to help you save time, gas and money.You will also see the report about accidents, hazard where are the police and other traffic events you see on the road, and in the same time you receive road alerts from your route from the app.Another great thing about the app is Waze automatically shuts down if it running in the background as you know the GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease your device battery life.

3.MapQuest

MapQuest is another go-to app for GPS,voice navigation and live traffic updates.There are a few features of it which makes it very useful, such as voice search and support, a map toolbar that lets you search along your route without interrupting navigation, live traffic flow and incident reports, and more.But in some degree, the turn-by-turn directions aren't that great.But if you just want a Google Map alternative, then this one is still a good option.

4.MapFactor

With MapFactor,you can get the navigation without the Internet connection since maps are installed on the SD card.The special feature of this one is thhat you will hear audible warnings when you approach speed cameras. Voice guidance is also available and map will rotates in driving position to conveniently be viewed.

5.TeleNav
