DOOD looks like a lady
So, I've been looking at navigation apps for android, but haven't really found what I'm looking for so far. So I thought maybe there are some more knowledgeable people here.
I've been using the Google Maps navigation so far, but I'm not too happy with the changes in the last big update. Most importantly, the app doesn't recognise coordinates for waypoints or allows to set new ones for a route, which means it's of limited use to me atm.
See, I mostly want navigation for the times I'm out on a ride with my bike - so point-to-point navigation is less of a concern for me, I'm looking for a way to follow a specific, predefined route. Ideally I'd be able to plan a route on my PC using GMaps, and then transfer it to the app.
In short, what I'm looking for:
- a way to import or at least create specific routes using waypoints
- avoid specific types of roads (e.g. highways)
- log the actual route I'm taking (i.e. any detours taken)
- offline navigation
- moderate on the battery... the Maps navigation, with constant data connection and screen on full brightness empties my battery in less than three hours. Plus, the phone (HTC One S) gets insanely hot.
Doesn't necessarily have to be free, if there's an app that does what I want perfectly I'd be willing to pay for that. I've taken a look at Navigator and osmAnd, but neither seem to really do what I'm looking for.
Any ideas?
