Google Maps

Google Maps lets you track your current location, view real-time traffic situations, and receive detailed directions to your destination. It also provides a search tool where you can locate places of interest or an address on a vector or aerial map, or view locations in street level.

Note: You need an active 3G, 4G, or Wi-Fi connection to use Google Maps.

Google Maps does not cover every country or city.
