be-on-road

The Android navigation app be-on-road is compatible with POIbase. It can install POIbase POIs & speed cameras.

be-on-road for Android is compatible with all versions so far.

With iOS, however, the be-on-road navigation app is unfortunately not recognized by iTunes in the necessary file sharing function and therfore it is not possible to copy the data into the app.
