I hate to say it, but you’re better off paying for an international cellular plan than to rely on this app as a stand alone navigation source for off grid traveling based on my experiences.

I needed a replacement for when stop hop went defunct and my friend suggested citymapper, and I love it!We also include Stevenson plans of harbours and related infrastructure works in towns and settlements. Cellular coverage is spotty, expensive and not always secure - again I have maps for these countries downloaded and can turn phone to ‘airplane mode’ and still find my way around. You have to trust your gut feeling rather than following the rules of some interior design magazines.
