Before even getting into the question I wish to ask on this post, let me stop
and acknowledge that I am indeed aware of the fact that the word "best", so
often used, is just a four letter word incapable of nearly anything. With that
being said, I will be receiving my iPhone tomorrow and wish to fill it full of
delicious apps. I would like one of the apps to be a GPS package.
At this point, I have arrived at three possible conclusions via
friends, this list, and the Applevis web site. I am considering the Garmin app,
Navigon, and Tomtom, the latter mainly because I hear it's accessible and the
primary rival to Navigon. What are the benefits for each app? Why should I
choose one over the other? I know that the Garmin app doesn't locally store map
information and the maps are constantly updated as well as traffic and weather
information. How does Navigon compete with this? Are there updates to Navigon's
maps? Does it provide the same type of information? And what of Tomtom? Does it
store maps locally or are they accessed remotely like Garmin?
Another reason I am undecided is that Garmin looks the most impressive, yet it
is only ever Tomtom and Navigon about which I hear-so is there some drawback to
Garmin which prevents it from competing on the same level? I read on the
Applevis web site that Garmin is very accessible, as well as Navigon. Any
information is welcome-if I have to have multiple solutions, I guess I could do
that, but it would be much easier just to depend on one.
Finally, does it really matter that much which app I decide to use? Is one
essentially as good as the other? Any input would be appreciated-no matter how
lengthy (I would even prefer lengthy <smile>).
Thanks,
Robert Hooper
