I like navigon. I'm in chustralia. But there's just one thing that really bugs me. I have it in walking mode, but I'm still told to take the second exct on the round about etc. it's frustrating and annoying. Steph -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google

to be fair, Mapquest only works for people in the United States. So that is one thing that many other apps provide that Mapquest does not, IE, maps for other countries. Richard (Sent from Richard's iPod Touch 5th gen) On Jul 11, 2013, at 10:48 AM, Craig Werner coffeeb...@gmail.com wrote: I

Hey everyone. Been playing with 5 of the main stream GPS apps, navigon, tomTom, garmin, motionx GPS drive and magellan roadmate. I'd be curious to know what everyone else's favorite app is. For me, it's motionx GPS drive, hands down. It seems to provide the best instructions, and has good

Motion X GPS Drive gets my vote. It's been extremely accurate for me in vehicle routes, and I love the ability to add a stop to an existing route. Your podcast actually sold me on the app. Les On Jul 10, 2013, at 5:56 PM, Mike Arrigo n0...@charter.net wrote: Hey everyone. Been playing with

Hi, I've had the best luck with Navigon, although it's been a while since I've tried MotionX GPS. The last time I used it I felt that it's user interface was a bit clunky. For car traveling though, I use Waze gps. it's a social GPS, but provides very good instructions. Not meant for walking,

Ya, I'm actually thinking of doing an updated pod cast comparing the GPS apps on IOS. This is actually much easier on Android, google navigation works well on that platform, actually I have not tried Apple maps yet, but I don't think it provides instructions in walk mode. On Jul 10, 2013, at
