I've tried several over the past few weeks. There aren't any that can even do the basic job of mapping from point a to b consistently for some reason. Mapquest came the closest, but 3 issues.

  1. It won't stay in landscape mode unless I put my tablet on Dex
  2. It often can't find addresses based on business names, and sometimes not at all.
  3. It doesn't have wide enough categories to find a good amount of places if you don't know the address or name of what you're wanting

I like the interface, it looks nice, but it's missing key map things, that should be the basics over things like a unicorn icon, which is cute, but useless.
