Google Maps
King of data.
Unbeatable POI database and public transit info. If it's not on Google Maps, it doesn't exist.
Why I picked this:
Google Maps is my navigation app of choice because it simply has the most comprehensive data. Whether I'm driving, taking public transit, or walking, it always knows the way. The POI database is unmatched—if a place exists, it's on Google Maps. The real-time traffic updates and alternative route suggestions have saved me countless hours. It's the one app I can't travel without.
