Diddy Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 So im looking for opinions as to which is best. I like co-pilot on the android phone - great for it's offline mode - which is where Google maps falls down. TBH I have had tomtom, sygic, navmii and waze on the phone. Waze was super bad as it relies totally on data.....but the others are much the same with my pref just edging to copilot as the availability of 1 years free traffic is a decent bonus. What about the rest of you what do you guys use ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobisat Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I use Co-Pilot and love it especially with active traffic. And yes it is actually something I paid for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell1 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 After using Tomtom for so many years I keep with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luptort Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Tomtom for me, used a few others on my phone but you can't beat the real thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Spark Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Co Pilot on my iphone - best I have ever used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corskey Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 hijacking this thread a little, we exchanged our shinny iphones for windows phones recently and (free) satnav for these seems pretty poor. I used google maps which i was impressed with and its real time traffic info. As it's a work phone I can't really root it (if windows phones can be rooted) and I'm too tight to pay for an app. Does anyone have a suggestion for free satnav for windows phones with traffic info?

epson Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 TomTom Go on android for me. works very well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crashuk Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Sygic on my phone. Got it cheap when an offer was posted. Gone a bit downhill since the update Layout totally confuses me, can add a postcode ok but not the door number which you could before. It gets me to most places ok. Did try the Navigon app mik posted elsewhere but could get it to run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobisat Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I used to use TomTom, then Sygic but have gone back to co-pilot that I used to use years ago. It's great. If I'm going somewhere I use Google maps to find the exact spot I want to travel to then grab the co-ordinates from it for the destination and I use them in Co-pilot. That way I know exactly where I am going to end up rather than relying on postcodes. Co-ordinates can't change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmw222000 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 got to be tomtom for me and ive tried quite a few Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fon Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Waze! install it on your phone its free. Other road users report speed traps, (mobile ones) pot holes etc. It is without question the best for me, and re-routes you around traffic, but its live traffic. You can even talk to other users in the traffic jam and ask them whats happening up ahead etc. It's so good google bought it and are trying to leech the data from it.

uniuk2000 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Co-Pilot for me, have used it for years and it's never let me down. @Fon, Waze sounds an interesting idea, might give it a try and see what happens with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philmein Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 i like here drive aka nokia maps great satnav bundled with windows phones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corskey Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Here Drive is probably the best free satnav for windows but live traffic and rerouting isn't great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgedawes Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Tom Tom for me, too Always find that you can get updated maps and they work a treat. I have even found that TomTom Traffic is the subscription that Mercedes use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minty Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Waze for me!!! Also tells you where the police are [emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xr4x4 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I tried waze and it often crashes on my phone (note 4). I purchased a Garmin sat-nav at xmas for my new job, it has voice recognition and dab traffic report. the traffic is shit on it. Google maps is my main choice but I can't set it to avoid toll roads so have to be careful when routing around the m6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sstocky Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I just use tomtom on my phone, works great and although its not the newest version its pretty crack hot. saves carrying anything else around as well regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpolm Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I always seem to go back to Tom Tom despite having used fancy systems (in Mercs/BMW's and Porsche's) to name but a few..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eireann Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I have a Garmin 2497lmt it's pretty decent, voice activated, on the iPhone I just use google maps. Recently used google maps in Berlin, just downloaded the map and used offline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullit2004 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 On my phone I use Waze, my Sat Nav is a Garmin. Much prefer to use my Garmin, use it everyday/ Free updates for life w00t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeftron Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I had tomtom of various degrees of legitimacy for years until someone broke into my car and had it away. Been using Waze ever since then on my Android phone. Online only obviously, but works really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
