Driving is fun only when you know your way around the place. Traditionally, only people good with memorizing routes and roads have been considered good drivers. But, like always, technology has made life easier in yet another way. If you are an iPhone user, you no longer need to memorize routes because navigational apps have come to your rescue. Now you can enjoy stress free driving by using these apps to find your way without getting lost.
Navigational tools for the iPhone have become quite efficient over the past couple of months. However, some of these apps boast of superior firepower than the rest. Here’s a look at some of the best navigational apps for the iPhone, available today:
Google Maps
The best navigation app for iPhone is still Google Maps. Google provides users the convenience of a quick search, with several suggested routes with integrated traffic information. Users can even choose to listen to directions from a human-sounding voice assistant. The app acts like a true friend, genuinely willing to help you find your way when you are completely lost. It intelligently re-routes you if you take a wrong turn or make a mistake. And that’s not it! Google Maps also gives you access to public transit and provides you with walking directions. With so much to offer, Google Maps is, by far, the best navigation app for iPhone.
Waze
This user-reported app provides the most comprehensive real-time traffic updates and information. It also gives details of nearby accidents and cops trying to bust people for speeding. Waze can also help you find gas stations on your way and even offers exclusive discounts. This app acts as a great phone tracking app that can help you find your way around problems.
CoPilot GPS & CoPilot Live
These paid services are totally worth your money and offer some of the best turn-by-turn directions and downloadable maps. Since the maps are already on your iPhone, getting directions and being on your way is much faster than with apps which need you to be online for you to do so.
With CoPilot GPS you get maps and route planning for free, but you will have to pay for services like voice-guided navigation, traffic alerts, etc. however, with CoPilot Live, you only pay $20 up front for maps of the US and Canada with voice-guided navigation.
Navigon USA
Navigon provides live traffic updates with pre-downloading maps option. Although, it might seem like a hassle but once downloaded, it makes Navigon the fastest navigation app on iPhone. Navigon is also considered to be one of the fastest apps for delivering driving directions with one of the best automated voices around.
Garmin North America
This paid app has maps built-in so all it takes is one download for it to be ready to roll. Every additional service you want, with it, will have to be paid for, like live traffic updates etc. It seems costly, but the user interface and the experience that Garmin provides is one of the best amongst all other iPhone apps for navigation.
Garmin North America
With Tom-Tom Navigation app, getting directions couldn’t be easier. The app is surprisingly accurate and adaptive, which further improves routing over time. It offers a highly informative display with clear and punchy voice prompts. Also, losing signals is no longer a problem, since the app works brilliantly, both, on and offline.
