Slow zooming/panning on a new map. Solution: Igo Luna pre-caches maps. Keep the app open for 10 minutes while parked to let it index the new .fbl files.

Igo Luna uses locally stored maps, meaning you can navigate without using mobile data. Maps are downloaded by country or region and stored on your device.
