[QUOTE="PeteLP, post: 1091711, member: 167411"] I agree with the other poster that Navigon seems to be the most respected generally. On most of the serious comparisons they come out on top. And they do great among the user reviews in the itunes store. I have Navigon, G-Map, and others. My personal take? Navigon is truly excellent on the iPhone 4 in just about every way. Here's what totally excellent: The interface, the routing, the map display with auto zoom, the range of features, the speed, the ability to actually run in the background and give guidance from the background, alternatively, the ability (after I CANCEL navigation) to preserve state and "launch" instantly (even after running ten other apps), GPS tracking, instant accurate position fix, auto routing based on current traffic conditions, the POI data base, alternatively, the use of Google POI's for destinations, handling of my iphone contacts, even my contact groups, the ability to show a full route summary (turn list) at any time, the ability to use any background music app while getting guidance. I have had ZERO problems and would recommend it without reservation. By the way. The iPhone 4 GPS chip is really excellent now as well. It seems to now have ZERO delay in getting a VERY accurate fix, even from a cold start, and regardless of its location within the car. Net/Net: The iphone 4 and Navigon are a great combination.
