Mobile Apps to turn your Smart Phone into a GPS Navigator

Don't want a GPS, but still want a good navigation system in place? Why not turn your Smart Phone into a GPS Navigator?

Most Smart Phones now come with built-in navigation softwares. For some, like the iPhone you can download a Navigation App at the Apple store.

Smart phone app nav programs tend to be more sophisticated and easier to use than the system in regular cellphones. With many models, you don't need a regular subscription, as long as you have a cellular data plan for downloading the maps and directions. Some nav apps preload the map data into the phones' memory which is handy in an area with no cell signal.

Here's some Navigation Apps you can try:


Navigon Mobile
Navigon is the pioneering GPS maker, the first one to create a downloadable iPhone navigation app sold through the Apple iTunes store. They are known for their reality view and free real-time traffic features. When it comes to mobile navigation apps, true to their adage- And the world is yours!

Magellan Roadmate
Ferdinand Magellan first circumnavigated the world in 1519, now in the year 2012 the explorer's name is still mapping the world via the mobile platform through the Magellan RoadMate app which is meant to run on the iPhone 3G and 3GS phone models.
