I tested NDrive USA for 3 weeks in Texas. I bought it for 5 or 6 dollars and would not pay more for it. One can manage to get to the desired destination but the travel time is way off. If it shows 5 hours, the real time may be only 3.5 to 4 hours. I also compared the driving times to Google Maps which was always very close to the actual travel time. The program is not very intuitive to use. That the iPhone’s address book is not integrated is a big flaw. Why NDrive does not use the QWERY keyboard but decided to have it alphabetically arranged is an absolute mystery to me. Using the POI feature is just horrible. Why the heck does it take over 3 minutes to look up a point of interest if all data is saved in the app? Don’t mess around with NDrive USA. I would suggest Navigon or TomTom.

I use the Magellan app and havent had any problems. I think it uses the same maps as Navigon…I dont why ppl love Navigon…the app itself looks so bland… and didnt they just go out of business in the PND industry?

Navigon is pretty great, but this is much cheaper.

Navigon all the way for me. And to the above guy. I set mine on my windshield, if you cant clearly see the screen then that sucks. I see the screen fine with navigon. Besides, when I’m driving I dont stare at the maps to care about screen size. Im usually listening to the TTS and the road I am driving.

I don’t know… I still find the iPhone screen too small for any of the GPS apps.

I’m sure google nav is great, but I prefer the reliability of maps stored on device rather than needing a network connection 100% of time.

I’ve been a Navigon user sine December ’09 and couldn’t be happier. I’m especially happy with the automatic traffic avoidance features and new google-assisted POI search.

I actually got lost once using TomTom because it just said “Exit now” and I took the wrong exit. I haven’t used TomTom since they added text-to-speech, so presumably it’s better now, but I’ve moved on to Navigon and couldn’t be happier.

I had used nDrive until it got me lost twice. Be careful when ‘she’ says “leave the highway now.” Where? Which highway is next? I said forget it and bought TomTom USA before it went off sale in December. Love the turn by turn of TomTom and also the speaking of street names. Also like the fact that it picks up my addresses from my contact list on the iPhone. And one more thing…when you are exiting the highway or interstate it actually shows you which lane to be in! Ndrive is nice but TomTom is better.
