Hi,

I normally use Waze if I need a navigation, but have a last minute need to drive in Norway and have multiple locations to visit for a family wedding.

Is Google maps offline downloads good enough if I know the areas? Or anyone recommend any apps? If not free then reasonably priced. smile

Thanks

My bad. I'd forgotten about that. For some reason I also thought Norway wasn't in Three's list of countries. Cheers lol

Thanks for the heads up. I'll be using Waze so hopefully that's updated. From what I understand most things are expensive so can't be affording that. smile

Thanks for the heads up regarding Three. It's not the best at times and with the change in roaming I'll probably be moving networks as the advantage of Three for me was the cheap plan I was on, with unlimited data and free roaming when in Ireland, which was usually three times a year.

Thank you for all the replies regarding navigation and speeding.

Whilst I have you here, anything else to watch out for? First time visiting and driving there. I'm comfortable driving on the left, or the right, but always nice to have a heads up.

Cheers beer

Just wanted to say thank you for all the assistance. Unfortunately we wasn't there as long as we would have liked due to a change of circumstances.

We plan to return and have a holiday there. Beautiful country, lots of Teslas and from what I can tell a great life satisfaction for those that live there. I'm aware that holidays/trips are different to living somewhere, but was nice.

The day of the wedding we sat down for dinner at 6pm and it wasn't finished until 11pm. Some of the speeches were in Norwegian for traditional purposes so were hard to follow, but a good time was had.

Driving was a challenge due to following my partners relatives who knew where they were going and didn't seem fazed by the speeding fines as much as I was. Be the same as me whizzing around the west of Ireland which I know very well. Or them driving down the A406/A13 in London.

Regarding Sygic on iOS they're offering world navigation and traffic for £25.99 and without traffic for £17.99. I'll order without traffic as it'll be handy for being on holiday anywhere without data, or in non EU countries.
