What GPS apps does everyone use that help for navigating to new courses when out of town? I have an iPhone and an Android phone that a friend gave me that I turned off the phone and just use for apps and stuff that I can't use the iPhone for, so I'm open for either.
The Maps app on iPhone is decent for finding things, but definitely not for navigating. Since it uses Google's maps, it's just basic. Google doesn't want to share all the bells and whistles with their competition I suppose! The Maps app on Android is much better since it's more navigating-friendly but still not perfect.
For iPhone, I've heard that MotionX Drive ($3) is pretty good. Others I've read about but get mixed reviews given the wide range of features and price points:
TomTom ($50)
Magellan Roadmate ($50)
Mapquest (free)
CoPilot Live ($5)
MobileNavigator ($50)
Mobile Maps ($30)
I haven't looked into Android yet, but I'm sure there are plenty of good ones, probably matching the ones for iPhone in features and price.
