Hi, I must agree here completely. While I have been in the Navigon camp for a long time, I just recently purchase MotionX GPS Drive to see if it's as good as others say. Because I'm used to Navigon's UI, I find MotionX a bit different to get used to, but I can also see that both have their place. Like with anything and everything in life, choosing a different app has both good and bad points. I like Navigon because of the one-time cost and because the maps are there for you to use. However I can see where MotionX can have the advantage of not using up as much space, especially good for those with smaller capacity phones. I do like the voice choices offered with MotionX gps more than the one which comes with Navigon, but voices are again, subjective. So far in the walk I did from my house to the local Walgreens, MotionX did a good job although it told me about the turn when I was right at the corner as opposed to Navigon warning me a couple hundred feet before. I haven't yet decided which I like more, and to be fair, I will give MotionX gps a spin for a month to see if I will purchase the voice guidance beyond the 30 day trial. -- Raul A.
