GPS iPhone App Shootout - TomTom, AT&T, Navigon, and G-Map Compared!

I've been getting a lot of questions on our GPS app reviews. Which is the best, which I like, which you should buy. Here is an overview of the four apps that IGM has reviewed. Apps included are TomTom, Navigon, G-Map, and AT&T. Things are broken down into categories and I pick which I like for each category, then followed by a brief overview. Hopefully this helps people in their decision making.

Note that there are a number of updates pending on these apps, so keep an eye out for further videos detailing major upgrades. Each update will likely change the equation for what works best for them.

what do u say about ndrive?

[wwwinsanelygreatmac]

Looks like there's no USA version. If they come out with one, I may check it out. Thx

[biglan25]

Hey Mike, I see that G-Maps has come out with a solution that covers US & Canada with these feature sets:

- Real Time Traffic information

- Text to Speech with spoken street names

- Contacts saved in address book can be accessed directly

- Music playback not interrupted by voice guidance

And much more; all for the great price of $70 (69.99). Now that's value! Looking forward to see your update video on this one. Thanks

[wwwinsanelygreatmac]

This is their upcoming release, right? I know they're working on something that was supposed to be released last month. I'm not seeing the update though.

[biglan25]

No, this is a app that is available now in the app store. Their (G-Map) is running a special now with the app saling for $40 (39.99). Maybe the reason why no update for the other version is because this offer is better for everone (others were a trail to test the water) IMHO.

[wwwinsanelygreatmac]

W-T-F? Seriously? So, there's a new version called U.S. and Canada that has all these features, but they're not offering it the other packages? I don't get it. Or are there other updates coming? I'll email them, but it usually takes them two weeks to respond.

It does look nice, but annoyed it seems recent customers need to buy again.

Do any of these do multi destination routing??

I'd love to see a current shoot-out of GPS apps. A lot has changed since August 2009.

Any chance you'll do Round 2?
