5.0 out of 5 stars Maps for Kindle Fire Free, great choice.

This app was installed on my Kindle Fire HD after other apps I had installed that were either causing problems with my Kindle Fire HD, main problems was either locking my Kindle or after making settings adjustments the programs not performing to my expectations. I was looking for something to replace the original Google Earth that was installed on my Kindle Fire HD, but for some reason stopped working even after deleting and re-installing the program. The "Maps for Kindle Fire Free" is very close to Google Earth, I noticed it also appears to have the same detail as Google Earth unlike the other apps I installed, when these programs were run I was very disappointed with the detail. I have also attempted to install programs for both the Android and Apple I-Pad, have discovered these programs either will not load or the ones that do either cause problems for my Kindle Fire HD or when they run they are very unstable. For people who are into "Games" I find there are plenty of "Apps", but when it comes to reference the apps that will work are few and far in between!!

1.0 out of 5 stars I have Amazon Maps installed on my Fire phone and it works fine, but I havent been able to find it ...

I installed Maps for Kindle Fire on my Fire HDX 7 4G. This is a very limited app, cannot find locations by POI (a search for Lowes or Burger King brings up nothing). On a road trip, I paired it over WiFi with my phone's hotspot, and it never located my current location.

Not sure why Amazon does not offer the Amazon Maps app it has for the Fire phone. I have Amazon Maps installed on my Fire phone and it works fine, but I havent been able to find it for my Kindle.

Edit 1/1/16: Amazon Maps is now unreliable on the Fire phone. It fails to render the map when on the road using LTE data. Even if it renders, if I select a POI or address, and click Get Directions, it responds back with an error message about unable to get route. I have sideloaded Google Maps and haven't had a sngle issue. Completely stopped using Amazon Maps. I haven't tried sideloading it on my HDX, still frustrated at the differences in UI on HDX and Fire phone, and why the devices work differently.

Works great. I love the save map feature for those times not connected to a network. You can plan your trips at home, save your maps and set out knowing you will have the right directions and map to refer to. A nice app to have if you don't have GPS. It seems to be quite accurate too.

3.0 out of 5 stars Does not give you "total" miles. Read review.
Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2015
Verified Purchase
I gave this app 3 stars because it does not give you the total miles after you enter your location and destination. However, it does give you the amount of miles you have to travel on each turn. You have to add them up yourself if you want to know how far you will be traveling.

PROS:
* wonderful graphics
* save destination with turn by turn directions (great when you don't have WiFi)
* can choose satellite or road view
* locates where you are if you have WiFi connection

CONS:
* does not give you a total amount of miles that you will have to travel (this is very important to me, so I can figure out time, gas, and distance)
* does not show gas stations or hotel/motel near your POI

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended

Works great. It's helps me a lot navigating through unfamiliar cites.

I do production sound for independent films. Many times, the location is in an area of Sacramento I'm not familiar with, or it's in another city entirely. This helps get around. I don't have a great sense of direction, so I get lost a fair amount. This helps a lot. Well worth the price.

Highly recommended

I would really prefer to have the version of Google Maps I have on my iPhone because I am so familiar with it, but this app does really well for me and Amazon always makes sure the stuff in their app store works - I am perfectly content with getting where I need to be using this program and it hasn't ever failed me.

1.0 out of 5 stars A total dud
Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2015
Verified Purchase
After downloading this app, it did not work correctly and so I got Kindle Help online. The first representative could not help me and then passed me to another tech rep. In the description of the app it says that I can download my map so that I can use it when not on Wifi. It said that there was a button at the top right hand corner to do this with. There is no save button. And we could not figure how to use this offline. If there was a way it did not easily present itself for ease of use. Bottom line: Amazon tech reps will report this to the app designer and I have deleted it from my Kindle Fire HD 7
