Yes. The launcher uses Google Maps when Play Services is available and switches to MapLibre maps when it is not. Your position comes from the unit's own GPS, so no Google services are needed.

Go to Android Settings → Apps → Default apps → Home app and select the original launcher, or simply uninstall MapCar Launcher. Your original launcher is never removed or modified.

Maps, navigation, alerts and all three themes are free. Reading your car's data through an OBD-II dongle comes with a 30-day free trial. After that, you can unlock PRO inside the launcher with a QR bank transfer (it activates as soon as your payment arrives) or by entering an activation code.

Yes — to load the map for new roads, search for places and calculate routes. Once the offline pack is downloaded, it uses hardly any data, because the map, search and routing all run on the unit.
