What are Reddit's favorite android apps in the category maps and navigation?

I like to use opencyclemap.org because it shows the roads, but also the trails for biking and hiking. More trails are shown than the official park maps for my area, which is good for hiking, and trails that are bike-able are shown that otherwise I wouldn't know about.

I use an app on my phone that lets me save these 9and other) maps for use without a network connection, so I can see where I am on a map with GPS without using data.

Edit: The app I use is made by Atlogis. I think it's also available for iPhone. It's probably not the only app that can save maps for offline use, just search for offline maps when looking for apps.

Fuera de eso ¿Tanto te cuesta buscarlo ? La pregunta va en serio aunque quedó de medio hijo de puta que no quiere ayudar xd

If they're flying into Love Field, there's a short bus ride that goes to the Green Line and is still about 3 hours total.

Also get the DART Regional day pass. There should be a ticket machine at the rail station or download the DART app. Regional passes work on Dallas, Denton, and Fort Worth public transit systems. $10 for a regional day pass last I checked.

Get the SEPTA apps for iOS and Android. Don't let the low ratings scare you, they've been improving steadily.

You don't really need them if you use an app like this one, uses your gps to show you the nearest stops on a map

If you find yourself roaming parks or trails or travelling where cell signals are faint (or you don't want to use up expensive mobile data) then an app that allows you to download offline maps can be great.

The maps offered by Open Street and Open Cycle tend to show trails that maps such as Google do not. The app I use and recommend is Topo Maps Pro by Atlogis: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.atlogis.camaps&hl=en

That's the Canadian version, but there are versions for many locations. There are also free versions so you can try it out. The interface is respectable and one can choose from a long list of map imagery, including Google and satellite. It's helped me navigate trails in parks around me where the provincial government doesn't list them. The GPS pinpoints where I am and then I'm good to go.

A redditor made and posted this app a few months ago. I've used it for real time bus and rail info. It's simple and works.

Consider this app:

I used it myself. Traffic feature I think requires a purchase or subscription, can't remember.

I just discovered Canada Maps Pro

It has large topographic map selection as well as route planning and tracking. It also allows for map caching for those times you are in the bush with no reception. Once recorded, the track can be replayed on the map and it displays all the stats of the trip.

I had an app that did this on my old android when I was riding my motorcycle a lot more.

Not sure if this is it, but looks similar: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=at.bikersos&hl=en_US

Hello! the prices of bus tickets and such have been answered already so I'll adress the accessibility part and schedules.

If you have a smartphone I recommend downloading the STM app, its pretty intuitive but in it you can check bus timetables as well as routes and bus stops. You can also mark the places you want to go and it will recommend buses that go from the place you are now to there, and you can even follow most buses in the app via GPS.

Most services have not linear schedules, some work 24hs with more frecuency, some with less frecuency at night, some have services only during the day and stop around midnight, etc. You need to keep track of that beforehand so you don't end up someplace without a bus service at night for example.Here you can also check bus times individually (write the bus number where it says "Linea" and select the day you want to travel (for example "Hábiles" means Monday to Friday) and you can see the timetable for that bus and where it is expected to be in the most important intersections (you can google-map those) you should keep in mind though that bus can be late/earlier than where it says in the apps, so I'll recommend being at the bus stop around 10 minutes earlier for the bus you want to catch, and don't be surprised if it isn't there 10/15 minutes after the assignated schedule. The most reliable way to know when a bus will be coming is through checking the GPS service.

After flatspin999 suggestion, I started looking around for the best app (android) for the speed limit purposes. All but one that I found required the screen to be on and for the app to be in focus ( not in background ). This app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mrchops.android.digihudpro&hl=en_US) can have the speed limit ( or minimum ) alerts that will still work while the screen is off. The only way for that to work is to set it to window mode.

Like templeofdank has mentioned, Under $50 is going to be tough. If you are willing to save your pennies though, this unit is a really good option.. I have a 1984 XV1000 and am currently using a GPS app on my phone and a decent handle bar mount. I also have a Veypor (a different unit, not the same as the one in my link) which I am currently integrating into a leather holder.

(edit: a bunch of things)

The trimet tracker app works well for getting bus/max route and stop time info quickly. Google maps will still be your main tool for getting around of course

I have just come across this app to keep me within the speed limit. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mrchops.android.digihudpro

You can set different speed limits with different notification and color codes. So far it is good. Anyone tired it? Any other similar app that is worth teying?

This isn't something that is hard to do, a smartphone app could do it.. hmm one sec.

yup There is at least one android phone app that does a similar thing; BikerSOS - Crash detection

Having played with this app and its big disclaimers I think its a nice idea but could be done better.

DigiHUD Pro. Fantastic for providing useful information while driving. The pro version is very nice. Speed brackets can be allocated, so the color of the text can change based on how fast you are going, which helps keep me honest with myself about how fast I am driving. It also allows a live Google maps view, including satellite imagery, to keep a birds eye view of the area. I used Waze for a while, but I wanted a bit more customizability. I just use Google Maps when I need actual navigation directions. Oh, and I used the icon from Speedtest in place of the original, I felt it worked better visually.
