iPhone as Navigator

[cbrgaz]

I use it on my android S3 so i assumed it was available for the iphone, sorry.
I also have sygic and tomtom on my s3 and i have to say sygic is my favourite as it uses tomtom makes, but gives you a true 3d view of where you are and where your heading.

Try mapfactor navigator, its free and uses google maps (osm) to navigate...............all the maps are available to download for free through the app. So you end up with world maps and no need for data charges either.

If you are an Apple user then the Pocket Earth app is the way to go. It too uses OpenStreetMapping (OSM) data. No audio directions yet and you have to have an internet connection to create or modify routes as the routing engine is third party - tho' they say that an onboard version is in the offing

Routes can be dragged around just as one rubberbands in Mapsource and obviously .gpx files can be exported/imported

I tour with it on a cheap eBay iPod Touch and sometimes even on an iPad in the tankbag mapcase using an external bluetooth GPS (Bad Elf)

It all works very well ...... BUT ........ screen reflectivity is an issue

Pocket Earth does indeed work (reasonably) well.

Apple don't make these apps, blame the developers.

CoPilot works well on Android and Apple. You can import routes in their TRP format, a program called RouteConverter will take any other format and convert or you can use it, or ITN Converter to spit out TRP files directly. Ultimate AddOns case, a few RAM bits and a USB power source and your sorted for less than £100. All mapping stored on the phone, or for Android, on the SD card if you like (a bit of a faff/hack but it works). My mate used this for our recent Pyrenees trip on his iPhone alongside my Zumo and it worked well. Bluetooth pairs to headsets or a Bluetooth module on the likes of Autocom, alternatively hard-wire from the phone's 3.5mm jack. Route planning on the phone is far easier than the likes of Garmin with rubber band drag and drop.
