|
|
Hi, all
Not sure where the best place is to post this.
I have a 2007 Audi A4 with the factory-fit Navigation system called RNS-E. It's a pretty impressive all-rounder except, ironically, for the navigation function. I mean, it's great once a destination is loaded, but the interface for loading the destination is very slow and counter-intuitive. It uses a alpha/numerical dialer knob (no touch-screen) plus it only accepts the first four characters of a postcode.
So I'm thinking of downloading a decent navigation app to my iPhone, and running it alongside CamerAlert. The default option seems to be TomTom (currently £37.99 for Western Europe).
Before I buy, though, I'm interested to see if anyone here has experience of running TomTom (or indeed an alternative) on iPhone in conjunction with CamerAlert.
Any advice or feedback will be appreciated.
Jeff. |

Personally on the iPhone I prefer Navigon or Garmin. Navigon (actually owned by Garmin now) always seem to be the first to use new features available to the developers and have a good history of timely updates and new features etc.

You might also like to try Sygic. They have a BOGOF ofer + 30% off at the moment. They also d a week's free trial. Some have had problems with it (with POIs), by in my experience it's OK and itakes the PGPSW cameras as well. |

Thanks. I'll look into both suggestions. |

Tomtom works well and their HD traffic is brilliant, in my opinion.
Also the traffic is half price at the moment _________________ -------------------------

OK, well I've given Sygic a go, at £23.99. Initial impressions very favourable (once I'd figured out the right settings). |

The maps are downloaded onto your device at installation time (and when updated)so you don't need a data connection whilst driving for the maps, but you do if you buy their traffic add on. |

Google Play too but there has been a fall in our scoring due to a lack of reviews of the recent update on iOS. _________________ Cut down your exam stress by using our latest pass4-sure.net exam and high quality 500-254 exam - pass4sure |
