From the three iPhone GPS app that I reviewed (MetroView, Sygic Aura, and NAVIGON MobileNavigator), I'd pick the NAVIGON - the voice pronounciation is not weird, bunch of good features that we'd actually use, active lane assistant, and a few others)

Haven't tried TomTom yet on the iPhone so I can't give my opinion on that one.

Currently using WAZE, and although I like it, I do notice it is not super polished, and gives me wrong turns from time to time.

What are other users using for GPS on their IPhone? I am a city driver (Chicago).

Try Navfree, I use it in Australia and it's pretty good, they have a version for the US

The best? Sygic Aura!

I have Sygic Aura BeNeLux and it's a really nice GPS, better than TomTom or Ndrive (these two are the ones I have tested already, can't tell you more about other GPS software for the iPhone).

Have a look at the Sygic website for more info and watch some vids on YouTube or read some reviews: you really want this GPS and nothing else.

Also, you can use it to go for a walk as well, it's very nice to walk through Brussels with 3D buildings around me :)

Paying for gps apps ?? No need to do that on a good old HTC Desire.

You don't have to on the iPhone either. It's a personal preference to use GoogleMaps or a GPS that talks to you.

I use Google Maps most the time, I did try TomTom while bluetoothing my iPhone to the wife's Mazda 3 when I drove from NC to TN, it was nice when it turned down the music and gave me voice directions.

Gotta say, that Sygic looks terrible. The layout is WAY too cluttered and ugly. But it is cheap :)

Sygic looks terrible :blink:

it's the most beautiful GPS navigation for the iPhone you mean

As well as voice navigation, some of these dedicated GPS apps come with complete map data so that there is limited, if any, need for data usage.

Just watch the size of the app, if it's more than let's say 300MB than probably you don't need any data connection to use the GPS.

      While I agree with all that, it just proves there's an a** built for every seat.

      Lol are you mad because I'm not using AI? I'd rather pay people than lose a bunch of potential customers and get humilated because I used AI. A lot of people won't purchase a game if it used AI during development.
    • LibreWolf 152.0-1

      LibreWolf 152.0-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more. LibreWolf 152.0-1 changelog: Upstream release, see the Firefox 152.0 Release Notes Notable changes: The AppImages are now built on Codeberg along with the other releases We have decided to wait a bit longer to enable the settings redesign, due to use being aware of multiple upstream issues Download: LibreWolf 64-bit | Portable 64-bit | ~100.0 MB (Open Source) Download: ARM64 | Portable ARM64 Links: LibreWolf Home Page | Addons | Screenshot | Reddit Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

      "I know for a fact I'll never own one of these." This is why choice is better than government regulation. Globaly Android has something like 72% of the smartphone market. Granted the vast majority of that is low end phones. Apple can and should charge whatever they want. The market will decide if it is too much.
