For the ones who missed this app via Amazon deal (not sure if it's still on at amazon) -
Maps.me PRO free through 'App of the Day'!

Just download the 'app of the day' app and through that you can download one paid app for free each day - today's app is Maps.me pro - which recently have added getting directions from offline maps. Which is really cool. It does not seem to have voice navigation though, but can't complain.

For today - the app is free by itself, use this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mapswithme…
(Curtesy: step_hen)

App of the day tells you which app is free for the day - either gives a code to redeem or you can directly download from playstore for free. This one falls in later category.

  Is there an option to download Maps.me straight from Play then enter the AppoftheDay code?

  I started using navfree https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.navfree.an…
  It has voice navigation and also uses OSM maps. Voice isn't fantastic but it does the job.

    Sounds good! Maybe this is what Maps.Me are aiming to achieve eventually. Wonder which would be better.

    Both have + and -, you need internet to search on it. But to avoid that you can use complete address as well - but that's not very convenient.
    In Maps.me, you can search completely offline.. but search is not very good. I could not find DFO Moorabbin. It listed few DFOs when I searched using 'DFO' but moorabbin was not in the list (though closest).

  I thought once you changed a google app to free, you cannot change it back to paid? Therefore the Pro version may be permanently free? Someone correct me if I'm wrong thanks

    You are right - found this:

    Important: If you change an app from Paid to Free and save the change, the change is permanent; the app can't be changed back to a paid app.
    If you want to charge again for a paid app that you’ve changed to a free app, you would need to create a new app with a new package name and set a price for the new app.

    May be they will remove this and create a new one? - But that seems hard as they will lose rating and all. So it might remain free - :)

  Get it from PlayStore (free as posted above) as you will have it permanently. Appoftheday works only until you need to reinstall the app.

    App of the day is also basically redirecting to play store, so it would work out to be same.
