NavFree users can search for an address by postcode, city, street or house and are instantly routed there with full voice directions. It will re-route if a user takes a wrong turn and provides information on the journey distance, estimated time of arrival, points of interest and live Google search for local facilities. Importantly, mapping is provided by OpenStreetMap and is stored on the mobile device so there are no mobile data charges for users.
