Satnav apps for iPad

Another vote for Waze here - I use it everyday on my phone for the journey to and from work as it pulls in crowdsourced traffic jam data (and mobile camera / police reports) so tends to give you much quicker information than other apps. The maps are also user-updated, so will be very current.

It did go through a phase a little while ago (around the time it was bought by Google as I recall), of popping up location-based adverts when you slowed down (mostly trying to get you to test drive a Nissan at nearby dealerships as I recall), but thankfully those seem to have disappeared now - with any luck for good! I had been considering stopping using it as I found them very distracting - maybe that's why they were withdrawn.

Two! One that since an update weeks ago it isn't as good as it was and the second is more important to an apprentice Scotsman............. the cost! For something I'm unlikely to use more than two or three times a year (the Defender is too uncomforatable to venture too far on trips without a lot of "comfort" stops to rest the ears and rest the right arm!) and hopefully in the next month I will have a more suitable car for long trips that has a satnav built in, it's more sense for me to get the Nav Free. I have come up against one problem with it though............ the lady cannot shout loud enough, even on maximum volume, to be heard over the engine noise............. but I was using it on my iPhone rather than iPad

I like Waze, nav free and google maps personally. Waze is my fave.

Waze does the job perfectly.
