MotionX-GPS Drive is the only GPS navigation solution designed and optimized exclusively for your iPhone. With MotionX you instantly find what you're looking for, then you get a list of door-to-door directions and a highlighted route. The maps are live, all you need to do is to follow the blue line!
They've got a point, this is the first "native" turn-by-turn application for the iphone compared to the other current solutions which were developped on other platforms. Doesn't make it necessarily better, but interesting nonetheless and the GUI does seem to have been optimized for the iPhone.
MotionX are well know among iPhone GPS users thanks to their MotionX-GPS now in version 7.1. Their "turn by turn" application is of the "off-board" type, and apparently use Navteq maps, generally recognized as the "best of breed" maps in North America. They do have a "Cached routes and maps for optimal performance" feature that will help if you lose network coverage.

I just joined the forum and well, know very little about these devices. However, I do know about the iPhone and have had MotionX-GPS Drive for about 2 weeks.
I have used it twice. Worked as advertised. In fact, I was impressed. It only cost $1 and it came with 1 month "Live Voice Guidance" as they refer to it. It was upgraded about a week ago, but I have not used it since.
The Voice activation costs $3 a month, or $19.99 for a year. Since I won't need it for about 4 months, waiting for spring to travel about, I will buy a year then. It works without the voice, but while driving, that does come in handy.
I have never used a Garmin, TomTom, or Magellan, so I can not compare it to these devices. |

Welcome to the forums. I used it brefly on my iPad but was not very impressed overall, I remember it being slow to calculate routes and display maps although I had good 3G reception. The lack of traffic information, even as an option, is hard to accept on a connected platform too. Maybe it's been improved since, if it works for you, by all means go on using it and keep us posted.
If you need other options down the road, you could look at some "on-board" (maps and route calculations done on-board) apps like ALK CoPilot or Navigon, they have their own topic in this section of the forums. |
