HOW CAN YOU OFFER THIS FOR FREE?
OpenStreetMap is an open source mapping system that was created by over 250,000+
users and as such the map data is free to use. As the maps are open and rely on
users creating and updating them there will be a chance that some of the maps are
incorrect or missing all together, especially in more rural areas. The good news
is you can add & improve the map yourself by getting involved at OpenStreetMap,
using one of the freely available map editors or simply use Navfree's inbuilt map
report tool to send mapping errors!
*IMPORTANT NOTICE*
The First version of Navfree requires a Data connection to search for Address's.
This allows you to have up to date access to the latest OpenStreetMap address database.
Maps are stored on the iPhone so no data connection is required for map browsing
& routing.
