Re: motion x GPS drive discontinued

Thanks,
Ari

Hi Mike,

MotionX GPS Drive was removed from the App Store on August 20, 2015.  They 
stopped renewing Live Voice Guidance at that time.  The message that comes 
up if you still have the app is:
"Thank you for being a valued user of MotionX GPS Drive.  Unfortunately, 
free competition from Google and Apple have made the economics of MotionX 
GPS Drive impossible to sustain.  Both Google and Apple support their 
navigation solutions with their other businesses.  This is not the case for 
MotionX.  This is the reason that we can no longer offer new subscriptions 
to Live Voice Guidance for MotionX GPS Drive. We sincerely apologize for 
any inconvenience this may cause and hope that you have some level of 
satisfaction with the offerings from Google and Apple which are free.  We 
want to thank you for your support.  We know that we have a superior 
product, but it has been impossible to compete with free offerings from 
others."

What exactly was better about their walking directions over Google or Apple 
maps? Just curious.


Thanks,

Re: motion x GPS drive discontinued

Interesting. In some ways I do think motion x was superior. On the 
other hand, when Google and Apple started offering free navigation, I 
did wonder if the paid apps would survive. It will be interesting to 
see if other apps such as TomTom, Garmin and Navigon survive. Motion x 
was a great app, I will definitely be sorry to see it go.

motion x GPS drive discontinued

Hey everyone. I have some sad news, from what I can tell, the Motion x 
GPS Drive app is no longer available. It no longer shows up in the app 
store. This is kind of sad, it was one of the best main stream GPS apps 
in my opinion, and actually provided fairly decent walking directions. 
It was one of the top rated GPS apps, wonder why they discontinued it, 
but that's what has happened.
