Sure, you can navigate, avoid traffic, and all that good stuff. What Scout lets you do, is focus on what really matters - the people at the end of the journey. Let them know when you're on the way, and that you've arrived safely, without fumbling around with an app or text message. Pick up the kids when they're done with the movie. Have your friend or spouse come and get you from the mall after you've got that special present safely hidden. We've got you covered.
Because the experience at your destination, with the people you're sharing it with, is the whole point.
We're @Scout on Twitter. Happy driving!

Used to be a 5 UPDATE Thank you for fixing the label problem your guys customer service and support and app is five star !!!!!This used to be an awesome app and could be once again but all of a sudden all my labels are names of places have been replaced with just the address it would be really helpful if I could name something like Lisa's house now and you push the little dots it doesn't give you the option to make a label please bring the labeling back

Awesome App I use scout for all my GPS needs. Great app, even tells me when I'm going too fast. Love the look at night.

Unhappy I am unable to use your app anymore, I get an error stating unfortunately scout has stopped. So I then try reporting it as a request when I'm given the option and no response. So then I try sending you an email to which I am informed that my email address is not on your list of excepted email addresses. Can you fix it or do un-install your app and just use Google?

Works well, but... I find that Scout does the job. Having said that, I offer one suggestion: part of your algorithm needs to say "Assume the direction of the vehicle stays the same until after the vehicle changes direction" That would help at every stop sign and signal, as now Scout gives me new directions at a stop sign as it wheels around the compass. Very messy and very unnecessary when I'm not even moving!

Back with Scout & gave up on Waze as a Lyft driver. Scout took me to the front door of a hard to find location tonight. I'm done with Waze until further notice!

Awesome Better than maps, even alerts you to intersections that have traffic cameras. Love the ease of storing and recalling locations.

Hi Jet,
Apologies for the inconvenience. This is a bug that we inadvertently introduced and will be fixed shortly. Stay tuned for an update that will bring the labels back (including any ones you already had saved)
thanks

Crash but good This use yo be my favorite, always used it. Did a lot of traveling for work and this has never failed. Until now. Constantly crashes upon opening on my Samsung Galaxy S5 Active. AT&T. Please fix this as this navigation system is beyond the best. I love the feature where you can send text messages with your route and arrival times. Please add a way also to delete favorites easier.
Good app but with the normal bugs The app freezes but worse than that the profile of the map likes to change and point the driver towards north even when you're going south west or east and the directional avatar button that you hit will turn you back in a true direction but then it flips back on its own showing me going north when I'm going east and wont stay the way I want it too
Best GPS App Ever Used Travelling weekly throughout the country I'm worried more about Sprint service than the app. This app picks up when servuce is lost and Ive never been given wrong drections. Why spend money on a portable GPS when you have Scout. This is truly the best I've ever used. I put 60k miles per year on my vehicle and I trust this app more than I do my vehicle.
Not going in the right direction I don't care about all the social media stuff. When starting a trip it will tell you 'head south' then immediately say 'head north' I understand that left and right may change as it gets its bearings, but compass directions are pretty much absolute. Update: I'm done with this POS. Twice on my last long trip, it routed me off the main highway and through busy city traffic, only to bring me back to the SAME highway. Time to uninstall.
It took me away from my destination Has been failing 3 times already it was real good at the beginning years ago when I first downloaded it but within the last 2 years it's been doing nothing but messing up takes me a block away around the corner from where I'm supposed to be at I don't know what the problem with it is but it needs to be fixed upgraded if it keeps doing this again I will uninstall it
Their customer service sucks For months I have been asking them to fix a problem with missing address. I even sent then coordinate as they asked and although they claim it's done their GPS is still outdated

Hi Manuel. Thanks for the feedback. We'll take a look at the load time and improve that in an update soon. As for the "Meet Up" feature, we are working to improve it and make it more useful - would love to hear more details on what doesn't work for you (pls share on our community site at ourcommunity.scout.me/scout).
Rohan (General Manager, Scout) Not consistent Also bought and downloaded the east coast maps and saved to a new larger SD card. So far service refuses to load maps and keep up with navigation and not liking it. Before a few months ago things were fine the pointer might veer off but the blue nav line stayed up to date especially driving in nh with a lot of back roads. But can't use it anymore due to lack of consistent with finding maps and direction after selecting the route. Probably delete everything soon. Google map worked mint when going thru boston
When you have it on and you answer a call take us out and then doesn't come back for an hour or two even with the GPS and you get lost sometimes it even loses track of you that's terrible!!

Hi Wayne- thanks for the feedback. We're sorry to hear about your frustrations. Can you please email support@telenav.com with the issues and we'll work on fixing this for you? We're always trying to understand how to make the experience that much better for you, our user. - Scout I used to like this app but now it can't pronounce words correctly anymore. I was going to Columbus and this stupid app pronounced it Columus...and Miamisburg is now Miamisbu...you really need to fix this. Middletown is Middlet w n....really? This app was good and the last couple of updates has made it SUCK! They emailed me and wanted me to email back so I did and they REFUSED delivery of my email. They just SUCK!
