    Can anyone help me find am Offline Mapping app that is either BB10 or Android? I also understand that NavFREE is no longer supported as is Mapswithme from Blackberry World Store. If there is another BB10 app that works please Let me know.
    If there is no BB10 app left to do the job what would be the best alternative for Android. Obviously it would be best to be as light weight as possible for smooth running on BB10. I did install the Mapswithme APK but the places search does not seem to work. I. Can deal with that but would still prefer to find any other solutions that work smoother and completely functional.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Try OsmAnd (BBW). I still use Maps.Me (android port in BBW) and it has enough function for me but ymmv.

    Is OsmAnd still supported in Blackberry World?

    I highly doubt it. It is, of course, an open-source project and may even just be a web wrapper ? Not sure but it doesn't hurt to try it. I have used it before but years ago and I did not care for the weird look of the maps. It may have changed since but I know you can store maps and it worked well for that. Let us know if you try it.

    OK thanks and I appreciate the suggestion but I was hoping to get something that is still supported.

    OK I downloaded it first on my android phone and wow! Love this app. I had a paid version of MapsWithMe or Maps.Me and it was a bit jaggedy and not showing accurate traffic.

    This Sygic is beautifully designed and accurate. I think I may go with that's on both phones now.

    I have Sygic too. They have a sale for cca 20 € sometimes. And you can use it on 3 phones ať once. It's fine

    Great app but expensive. Also your BB10 purchase will not transfer to android.

    I use Yalp Store. You can either sign in with your Google ID or just let Yalp make a fake one.

    Now for the Classic. I never owned a classic but I heard it's not as fast as the Passport. You can always try it and see. When it comes to Android apps, they can slow down BB10 phones for sure but if you need it where there isn't a viable alternative then I guess you have to try.
    what I've done is make a list of android apps and their version, then I would upload their APK to my Cloud (OneDrive). If all is well then good but if you've went through many android apps over the year or two and you think your phone is lagging just back everything up manually to a computer where the files, docs, pictures, videos, etc.. are safe and then a clean wipe of the phone and a formatting of SD card will make it new again.
    I did this after I knew I had acquired everything I needed and was ready with all my apps. Now my Passport is running smoothly and couldn't be happier.

    I would also get Taskmanager. It's an android app and you can close or if you hold on one of the apps it found running, you can Force Close the app so it won't reopen and use any resources. Only app that I have that I've found won't stay down is a Web browser called YuBrowser. Great Web browser but I can't keep it from popping up in the background processes. Doesn't seem to be a big issue

    I would try to keep your android apps to a minimum. I have igrann Pro for regular use but if I need to check the DM system I can open the instagram APK version 9.0.1 from APK Mirror and when I'm done I Force Close it.

    The less android apps installed the better!!

    The app had an update a few weeks back and the maps a few months ago.

    I only download two app that I really cannot live without them. It's called Forum Kaskus (Indonesian Forum) because I dont like opening it via browser. I think the Blackberry browser sucks (?). Any advice to find the replacement? And the second app is Quora, I can read all the great info and motivation in there.
