the sygic seems very glitchy.

No, that was my video camera. ;-)

Interesting video and a good view of the apps before buying.. I bought the Navigon app when it came and it works absolutely great! =)

Thanks.. great vid.. good to see a decently filmed road test of each app!

Now to decide which one is best :S

Buckle your seatbelt!!!! is this a toyota camry or avalon?

[thanhpluv]

navigon is really good, I'm using it. Tomtom looks nicer than the others. I would like to try it too

[vnano]

Hi, could you tell me the name and the brand of that iPhone windshield holder?

Hey no mention of the Navigons pop up saying,"GPS recetion is currently not sufficient". Yeah, It has yet to be sufficient even once. I tried itunes who takes your complaint and then says, we heard ya, call Navigon. ..... in Germany.... and explain to them. I have a 90$ version of mapquest essentially. Lame. Don't believe the hype, none of these apps are ready for market. They are suckering those who jump in first.... like usual. I got hosed.

Actually you can if you get the iGPS360 module from Orange gadgets.  You need a jailbroken iPod to use it, though.
