Mobile phone satnavs

[YorkshireGrom]

Afternoon Guys

Am looking for a satnav for my iPhone 5s I've just downloaded copilot but it's only free for 7 days.

So am wondering what you guys use on your mobiles when out on your scooters and motorbikes

Navfree.

Works a treat.
There's a paid version too

Google Maps works just fine with headphones for me, on the rare occasion that I use it. I normally just try and memorise the routes.

If you've got data to use: waze. You get live updates from others users of hazards like vehicles in the road, police and so on. Mine used 30mb in the last month, so pretty light on the data.

Google Maps.

Free, with voice directions. You can also download map data locally to your phone (when on WiFi) so it saves using data when out.

Skobbler - https://www.skobbler.com/
Here Maps - https://maps.here.com/ (used to be Nokia Maps, click on menu to get App)

Both allow downloading of country maps to use offline. If you want a social feed from around you (handy for traffic jams) then there's Waze :-

I find phone satnavs useless as my mobile data connection is never good enough. Might be something to do with living in Wales

I paid for copilot a couple summers ago - for use in the car, with a tablet. I don't regret the purchase, it's cool in the car.

On the bike I use Google navigation, and headphones. It's the shizzle. You get to pay attention to the road and squawky bird bleats in your ear every roundabout then shuts the hell up 'for 12 miles' etc.

Navfree now known as navmii, sometimes get a conflict with on screen route and spoken route but pretty good for free, paid £2 for the speed camera data, spot on.

Sygic is probably the best Android one. It's paid for though.

Google maps is not a sat nav. Neither is Here.

Navfree used to be good until they started doing full ads over your route. Of course there is a paid version though.

With the google maps you can download large areas to use offline.
View the area on wifi or good connection where available.
Say "OK Maps" - and it will offer to download and not just the resolution you are viewing at - once you have that area you can zoom in later with no signal at all.

*won't work on iphone because.

A phone is OK for occasional use. It does the job but if you need directions daily in all weathers you will be far better off with a dedicated unit like the rider V5.

Another vote for Waze, it's so good for traffic.

I must be getting old, I memorize my route and have a printed off map in my front pocket for emergencies.

Google Maps is good.

Its free, easy to read and also shows you the traffic conditions.

Plus its easy to search for an address/ shop etc and just navigate straight to it.

I didn't know Google Maps was available on iOS. I've never had a problem with the built in Apple Maps myself. Aside from the teething issues when it was first released when it may have caused a few deaths, it works just fine.

Whatever nav software you use, always back it up with a paper map until you gain a bit of geographic experience. Sat navs do not always give you the best route. For example, Northampton to Portsmouth, sat nav says m25, real world says a34 - m3. Always worth checking.
