I admit it’s hard for me to pay for applications, and if there’s one thing that makes me even lazier, it’s subscriptions. Moreover, my experience has shown me that: There are incredibly good free apps This makes opening the wallet very difficult. Although there is clearly a B-side: monetization will come from another source, possibly using personal data or through advertising.
I have been testing compatible applications for Android Auto for a year now, and it is clear to me that these applications have become indispensable in my car. Everything they offer without spending a single euro.
vimusic
As a person who does not pay for Spotify or Amazon Prime Music, ViMusic My indispensable application for listening to music. Please note that it is not installed in the traditional way, but we will have to download it from the developer’s GitHub and follow these instructions.
ViMusic actually a complete Open Source Youtube player Perfectly adapted to Coolwalk, offering a smooth, minimalist and distraction-free experience. The only thing you need to keep in mind before traveling and using it is that you will need to prepare playlists in advance.
waze
Waze needs a few introductions, it’s the “brother” of Google Maps and on a personal note, which is globally important for me best free GPS navigator for car and Android Auto.
The important thing is that, on the one hand, it belongs to Google and gives Google a large amount of information or complete maps (as well as the aggressive data policy of the Mountain View company), and on the other hand, it belongs to Google. very active community It updates the app with live events on the road within minutes. The icing on the cake is the interface: convenient and intuitive, so you won’t get lost even if map reading isn’t your thing.

TomTom AmiGo
A few years ago there were no free navigation devices on mobile phones, instead you had to resort to specific devices with maps that you had to buy or subscribe to. TomTom was king then, but now the free app version (there is another paid version) has been adapted to offer: your entire experience at zero cost.
TomTom AmiGo is so good Little to envy Waze or Google Maps. You won’t miss them thanks to the clear interface where only what really matters is visible, complete maps and very careful radar coverage with different alert formats.
What is its difference from the paid version? They have ads and you can’t download maps to use them offline. If you don’t mind this, it’s worth it.

Fixed and Mobile Radars
Both Waze and TomTom AmiGo display fixed and mobile radars, but if you look for a more specific app you’ll discover there are plenty available on the Google Play Store… but for a fee. If you want something free, Fixed and Mobile Radars have ads, but they don’t bother you too much (typical Google Ads banner at the bottom) and if they do, you always have the option of paying the €3.99 in one lump sum. .
Highlights of this app fixed, mobile, departmental radars and traffic lights with speed control with sufficient precision and comprehensiveness, as the community also contributes. Even before you follow a route you can see what radars it has. And here’s a good trick: if the interface doesn’t convince you, you can leave it in the background and use another browser to guide you.
