iphone4 for navigation

[BeachBum]

I'll cast my vote for the Tom Tom for iPhone app. travelled all over Europe with it in the past year with the only problem being reception while walking the narrow alleys of Venice. It's interesting evn while on a boat it will direct you to the ferry channels to your next destination.

The combination of the offline maps of Tom Tom and the addition of the Lonely Planet guides are awesome.

Do any of the talking iPhone nav programs have an "avoid expressway" option? I wish navigon had that.

I have TopoMaps App on both my iPhone 4 and iPad 2. On the i4 it has consitantly give me accuracy that never had me doubting my location on the map. On the iPad 2 it has been absolutely spot on. My little blue dot never even leaving the dirt tracks I was driving. We were well outside any type of phone service outside of Moab UT.

Navigon does do that, it's under "options" "route profile"

I just used Gaia gps on my iPhone 4s this weekend. I was able to track my trail, look ahead on USGS topo maps with Forest Service overlay, and drop pins for waypoints in the future. All done without cell signal (I saved an area map of Big Bear before leaving while on WiFi for when you lose data). Worked excellent. So far I give it 10/10 for accuracy and it even tracked me through tall trees and from within my vehicle. Works pretty much like the Google map app the iPhones come with. Price: $10
