Let’s say you’re on a holiday trip to the Daintree Rainforest. You find yourself driving through an unfamiliar road unsure of which turn to take. Luckily, you don’t have to be an expert in reading a map to find your way around. All you need is your smart phone and a trusty app that can show you the exact route to the Daintree Rainforest Accommodation you booked. 

Here are the top navigation apps you can use offline while exploring the Daintree:

Trusted GPS maker TomTom developed their own app for Android devices. Now, you don’t have to buy a stand-alone GPS device to put in your car. It features turn-by-turn navigation, provides traffic updates and location of speed cameras. The best part is you can use the first 50 miles of TomTom for free every month, so you won’t pay a dime if you are only using it to get around the Daintree for a couple of days.

  • CoPilot (Android)

CoPilot is another great app that lets you download offline maps. It has an easy-to-understand interface and a lot of map details including custom points of interests and street names. This app has the advanced lane guidance feature that shows you which lane to take especially when the motorway splits off – perfect for your first time driving in Queensland.

The app still works even if you put phone on sleep mode. This feature makes it a great companion on long driving trips to Far North Queensland.
