eyesight is not good enough to see the details on a smaller display
without glasses.

Ive used Google Maps for ages and found it OK, but I recently tried
the paid TomTom Go Android app and liked the way it zooms in. However,
the app now doesnt seem to work and is incapable of doing a search for
an address. Ive reinstalled it and it still wont work.

I tried the TomTom app some years ago and gave up on it, Id heard that
the current one was good so gave it a try again, it was ok for a few
days but now it seems not to work so Ive given up on it again. I used
to think of TomTom as the main name in satnavs but their apps are
useless.

Anyone know of a satnav app that zooms in at junctions?


Have you considered Here We Go?

I use it on Android tablet and iPhone - and have used it on Android
phone. (And its earlier incarnation on Windows phone).

I think it zooms at junctions - but just tend to let it get on with it
and rarely have an issue.

Plus, as it seems still to be "free", cheap and easy to try out.
