Do you prefer that or google Navigation?

Do you prefer that or google Navigation? | Yup it has all that. Looks like the US only version is $9.99. I honestly only use it if I drive to the states or to places I'm not familiar with which is pretty rare. https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ZW1pdW11c2EiXQ..
Looks like it's only $15 now direct from copilot: CoPilot Live Store | Android
There's literally quite a few different GPS apps for android now. Just check em out in the play store.

does co-pilot read out the directions for you and "ring" when you have to turn?

so you are currently using a S3? | Google maps/navigation is the same for all android devices. It's quite user friendly and easy to use.

Google navigation "speaks" them out for me right ? does it also "ring" when I have to make a turn?

So i am guessing google navigation uses data then since its not an app right?

What you can do next is tap on the pin and an option called "Direction" will pop up:
Then tap "Navigation" at the bottom:
And it will start speaking to you, telling you how to get to your destination. You do need a data plan to use this, it uses very little data though.

Last time I went to surrey from richmond and my 2008 Magellin GPS trolled me so I was 45 mins late to the destination  | |

Every app does things a little bit differently. It's not going to be a 100% mirror of garmin. That being said the common features are all more or less the same. Ie turn notifications, eta, distance till next turn, next street, text to speech, auto rerouting, fastest route, shortest route, etc. Heck you can even get Navigon which is owned by garmin or even tomtom.

How much does it cost?
I know of a guy that bought the Tomtom gps app for $80 which is think is really expensive...
