GPS-applications to use when traveling

Since there doesn't seem to be a good summary of good GPS apps, I have made one for different GPS programs to use with my Nexus 7 Sony Z4 Tablet (Android) and iPad 2 together with a Garmin GLO.

I generously received a Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet as sponsorship for our project. The tablet was mounted on the side of the dashboard using mounts from brodit.nu, and it turned out to be vital for the trip, providing both guidance and night sleeping spot recommendations.

This is by no means a scientific and full test of all the programs. I am not a paid reporter who has weeks to spare for fun stuff like that. I have done thorough research of currently available and popular apps, and tried to test most of them from my perspective of going to Morocco.

Web mgmt means you can set up and edit a route on your computer and automatically pick it up in the app

Rating is my very subjective rating, and it can change as I test the applications deeper.

Tested home means I have tested if it works and the looks, but not for a long trip.
The ratings are highly subjective and may change when I try the app more

UPDATE: We are now home again, and the clear winners during the trip were: For online use: Google Maps and Waze. For offline navigation between two addresses: Maps.me. For offline navigation on a route on roads: Navigon Europe. For offline navigation without roads: Locus Maps and Gaia GPS.
