LIMITED TIME SPRING SALE: One year of Live Voice Guidance now 60% off, only $9
MotionX GPS Drive HD
MotionX has created a wonderful navigation app for the iPad. The app itself is very cheap. The only extra cost is if you want voice navigation. Currently the cost is $20 per year or $3 a month for that feature. The app is perfect for those that travel in areas with great 3G coverage. The app does not download all of the maps to your iPad like some other GPS navigation apps. Instead it will on the fly download what it needs and cache maps. If you know you will be in a bad coverage area the app will cache your entire route for you. To enable this feature simply hit simulate route before you leave. The app can store up to 2GB of data in this stored cache area. The interface for this app is simply great. The maps appear on the left. The right side of the screen is split in two. The top half has the next action needed such as a turn. The bottom half contains a list of all the directions for the trip. Navigating through the interface is very simple. The menu area of the app contains search, navigation, compass, stop/start nav, go to, list, position, and settings. The app is simply packed with features that no other navigation app has. The voice used for navigation sounds very realistic. The app allows you to avoid highways, tolls, and can use live traffic data to reroute you to a quicker route. The app also features a built in iPod app. This allows you to change your song without ever leaving the app! The MotionX GPS Drive HD would have been the essential app if it stored all maps offline. The requirement of a Wi-Fi or data connection is a real limitation. It is certainly a great app to have, but not the best in all situations.
