In the search, you can find a specific location, as well as directly search for a nearby hospital, airport, gas station, coffee shop, grocery store, or dining location. If you've ever searched for gas stations in Maps and only got a handful of Circle K's, you'll know how essential a good gas station search is. As far as the navigation goes, Drive works very well, but does have some room for improvement. Finding your destination is definitely the Drive's strong suit, letting you navigate to addresses, intersections, people in your contact list, as well as all the searchable locations previously mentioned.
Once you know where you are going, the navigation takes over and sends you on your way. The voice works well and tells you what to hear, but cannot be customized. Apple's fanciest earbuds yet Get active noise canceling, transparency mode, and spatial audio—all in a MagSafe-chargeable discreet form factor that matches style with functionality. Not only does it download Navteq maps on the fly, but it uses online search instead of stored points of interest.
In theory this is better, because it means fewer wrong addresses of business who closed or moved. That's not always the case, but I did find MotionX to have a decent online search—the first in this class that I've seen powered by Microsoft's Bing.
Again, because it's online, it has access to traffic data. At the moment, though, the app only uses traffic information in its routing, says the developers. There's no way to check a traffic report like on other apps.
However, the developers appear to be toying with a Dash-like concept too: A future version of the app may be used to gather and share its own live traffic data. There's nothing like that now, and Fullpower won't share details, but it sounds like fun. I also asked about live gas prices, which others offer: None now, but that will change. I did have a few cosmetic issues with the app. For starters, it doesn't have a landscape mode, so the phone is always upright.
I have been using this app for several months now and for my purposes it is the best I have found. It is intuitive but a pdf guide is also available if needed.
The track function is great and seems flawless. I use the live updates weekly for running, hiking, and biking. Perfect for letting someone know where you are. Great variety of available maps as well. Sharing tracks is easy. Great App I would highly recommend!! The most terrible, confusing GPS app I have ever worked with!
Straight to the point, what I needed was a simple replacement of a regular GPS device, which will work offline. The crazy thing with that app was the way it downloads maps. Instead of doing it by simply giving me the option of choosing the name of a state from a list, I had to choose and put a whole area in circle and then push download.
I rather stay stuck with Sygic! Three bucks are not a big deal, the problem is when something is absolutely not user friendly and makes you feel totally dumb! Then when you start approaching the fishing spot when you make a stop the boat the triangle icon that represents will remain frozen on the previous stop for about 60 seconds then the fishing spot will be missed by a lot because when the icon triangle starts moving again it jumps the the actual position and you will notice that you already has past the spot by a lot.
It freezes and after 25 to 55 seconds if I increase the speed it will move again but by the I missed the fishing spot. Have been using app for years, including loading in the tract to do the Camino De Santiago. It has always worked splendidly! On the one trek in particular that I compared the others to Quilotoa circuit, if you want to check yourself , one of the high price subscription apps was totally inadequate even tried a subscription, not believing the map could be so poor the other subscription app that I checked, as well as several free or low cost apps did not show near the detail as the motion-x maps.
Plus it is easy to use. Keep up the good work, still the best out there!!! Best location app available.
I been looking into using GPS on smart phones since the very beginning. Motion X in my opinion is the best available for the iPhone. I see so many companies do this and. Be smart and Capitalize while you have the advantage. New GPS apps are creeping up and getting closer in functionality and user experience. I've had this app for years like many other reviewers and I've always really liked it. For walking, for hiking, for biking.
What I do not like is the location services setting. You have to allow the app to access your location always or never. I do not like apps that track your location even when you are not using the app. Most apps have the option to allow location sharing "when using the app" which seems much more respectful of the users privacy. As a result of the MotionX GPS settings I use this app a lot less then I used to because every time I'm not using it I shut down location sharing in the privacy settings which I then have to re-enable when I do want to use the app.
If this one feature were changed I'd definitely rate the app 5 stars. Oh joy. Why, to nag me to buy it, of course. The customer-hostility that has become status-quo in mobile apps is setting up for the mother of all backlashes. I mean, how do I know at the time of purchase that this nonsense is going to happen? Instead, you purchase stuff, and 2 weeks later watch it go freemium, or watch paid options pile on, etc, etc.
They are only mutually exclusive to the most uncreative of minds. I really like the functionality of this GPS app for wilderness hiking. BUT the download process for maps is extremely slow. I need high resolution detailed map information so I download maps with zoom level And over a wide geographic area for a multi day trip.
This results in hundreds of megabyte tiles which download at a rate of about tiles every 30 seconds. So in order to download a big map it takes overnight, 8 to 10 hours! Therefore, I have to start my map downloading preparation several days in advance.
