Karta GPS is a mobile application developed by Karta Software Technologies Lda., a daughter company of NDrive, for the Android, iOS and iPadOS operating systems. It is distributed for free and pairs open-source map data from OpenStreetMap alongside curated content from Yelp and Foursquare.
The application does not require a connection to the Internet and uses a GPS satellite connection to determine its location. Routes are calculated and plotted based on real-time traffic information provided by Inrix.
History
The application's beta release was released on 4 November 2016. On 19 May 2017, Karta GPS featured both Bill Clinton and Donald Trump's voices in its selection of navigation voice overs.
Features
- Offline maps and guidance: All maps can be downloaded for free. No internet is required for searching, route calculation or turn-by-turn instructions.
- Search: One-box search supports partial names and initials. It can search points of interest, GPS coordinates and address points.
- Traffic: The application shows the route layered with different colors based on the current traffic along the route.
- Suggestions: Point of interest content drawn from Yelp and Foursquare to Karta GPS maps, allows users to "explore" a location's top-rated places of entertainment, their descriptions, their last three reviews, photos, and their opening hours and prices.
- Car & Walking provides navigation for both cars and pedestrians.
