Map App for Phone...?

Disclaimer: I am a luddite and am reluctantly giving up my trusty flip phone soon.

I have an entry level Samsung phone for work and am learning the ins & outs. Will be traveling soon and want to download a map app. One that I can put in a destination and get instruction and route recommendations.

Which one do folks like? G-maps? Waze? Other app?
  • By "entry level" I meant low cost... I have a Samsung J2 Shine model, it was $50 as part of ATT prepaid plan.

    If there is a pre-loaded map app I am not seeing or finding it.

    As far as what I am looking for would perhaps be ease of use on a smaller screen of a phone.

    I am used to using G-maps on my laptop & docking station with two 24" monitors. Whenever I need a map, I am old school by looking up on my computer and drawing/noting/printing the location for my needs.

    With a phone, I am trying to get up to speed with technology. Right now, I go to the phone browser and access Gmaps same as how I would do it on my computer... it works, but am wondering if an app would be more appropriate.
  • Google maps is free. What type of mapping are you looking for?
  • What is an entry level phone. Most entry level smart phones have a map app as part of their standard apps. Are you sure you don't have one?

    either will meet your needs.
