Looking for an iPhone GPS app comparable to Android

I am getting ready to switch from my DroidX to the iPhone 4s.   The only thing that is holding me up is the GPS.  The one I have on my DroidX works great.  I can speak into the phone and say something like "Target", and it displays the nearest Target stores.  I select one, and it then gives me voice-enabled turn-by-turn directions.  If I go the wrong way, it recalculates and gives me new directions.    The maps are always up to date.  When we crossed from NY into Canada, the GPS adapted accordingly, and didn't miss a beat.
The native iPhone GPS app doesn't seem to be as good.  I'm spoiled.  Is there a comparable GPS app that will run on the iPhone?
Thanks!

I'd recommend Navigon. There are different bundles (U.S. East Region, North America, etc...). . Yes, you do have to pay and it is a large file (1.7GB currently). However, updates are free. From my understanding, the Navigon app map data is stored on your phone and will work without a GPS signal. (I haven't had to use it in such a manner.) Google Maps Navigation for Android is great but a data connection is always required. And, in my experience, Navigon directions have been more accurate than Google Maps. The MapQuest app is free but ad content is visible.

  • I am looking for an iPhone 3G  App that will track your daily travels.

    I am looking for an App that will track your daily travels. Say you spend a day walking through NYC. At the end of the day you want to know how far you walked... see on a map where you walked and when you were at a specific spot. Does such an application for the 3G exist? If it doesn't... it should!

    Hi,
    Yes I realize that this would be a drain of the 3G battery... but it would be a great thing for the few days a year we do something like walk all around NYC and later would like a record of where we had been, how far we had walked etc. This would not be an everyday thing.

    with an iphone 3G the most up to date ios is 4.2.1 so you have a problem because whatsapp requires a higher version.  If you saved an earlier version of whatsapp you could install that otherwise you cannot use the app.  You will need to get a more up to date phone

  • Looking for a people finder app

    I'm looking for an iPhone app (I have a 3G) that will allow me to easily send my current location to someone else via e-mail or sms (it's OK if they have to have the same app installed) so they can see where I am on a map, helping them find me. I'd use this for meeting up in an unfamiliar area, e.g. I've tracked down a few, but thought I'd see if anyone here has any recommendations. Thanks.

    Basically, press Home and the sleep button simultaneously. The screen blinks, you hear a click, and the screenshot's saved to the camera roll. There's some finesse involved in the button pressing, however. Some people claim you have to press and hold Home first, then tap the sleep button. Just be prepared to experiment. I'm on OS 3.0. Other OS versions may behave differently.

  • Im looking for a good note app with pen for taking notes ( in english and german )during business trips. Can anyone help

    I'm looking for a good note app with pen function for taking notes ( in English and German ) during business trips. Can anyone help?

    Really sorry to hear about this, particularly when you're putting your life on the line. But Apple cannot track your iPhone in any way unless you had set up Find My iPhone prior to it being lifted.
    It's possible that AT&T might be able to do something, but it's probably that they cannot track it, or will not without a request from an authorized law enforcement agency, but rather would only disable the device. You'll have to try and find a way to contact AT&T directly and ask if they can do anything to help you; the chances of any AT&T employee in a position to help you spotting this thread it pretty small.
    Good luck, stay safe, and come home soon.
    Regards.

  • I am looking for a word processing app

    I am looking for a word processing app that I can use for sending .doc and .docx format papers via email or uploading them to websites directly from my ipad 2 without having to export them to or sync them with my actual computer.  Does the Pages app allow users to do this?  I need to make a purchase of such an app soon.  If this app is incapable of these actions, can anyone suggest an app or design an app for me that does them?

    Pages can export documents in MS Word format. When I last did this (with Pages '09, the Mac version), the result was a .doc file.
    Note that this is a translation, and like most translations, it's not always a perfect one. Some features of Pages are not supported in MS Word, and some Word features are not supported in Pages.
    For a more precise answer wrt Pages for iOS, you should repost your question in the iWork For iOS community. The link will take you there.

  • Looking for a voice memo app with folders

    Looking for a voice memo app with folders
    I'm trying to find a simple voice memos app that allows me to save the voice memos in folders right on the phone, and have them backed up to my desktop when I sync. I used to use Recorder Pro by Bear-Software but it doesn't work properly anymore. It was great when it worked. Why do so many of the voice memo apps just keep your voice memos in one huge long unorganized list? I need to be able to create 10 or 15 folders within the app, and save each voice memo to a specific folder. Any voice memo apps come to mind?

    received this repsposne from the folks at Imesart:
    Dear Andrew,
    No app on iOS will let you add files to the music library. The only way to do this is to use iTunes on a computer.

  • Looking for a drum loop app that will run in the background. What are you using?

    Looking for a drum loop app that will run in the background. Suggestions? What are you using? I tried Loopseque and I like it, but I can't make it run once I switch apps. Help please.

        That's definitely strange, kzmidge. I want a working phone in your hands though. I noticed you mentioned you received the suggestion to complete a reset. Did you already do that? Is it working again? Are you receiving an error message?
    If you hesitated a little longer to complete the reset, you can try to place your phone into Safe Mode http://vz.to/rxg0ii and see if you can access mobile sites from your browser. This mode will stop 3rd party applications from running, so you won't be able to use the apps you mentioned but we may be able to narrow down the trouble in Safe Mode. If the mobile sites work, that means the trouble may be in a recently downloaded application and you may be able to avoid the reset my uninstalling some of your more recently installed applications. If it's still giving you trouble, the reset http://vz.to/18wzOCi is the next best step.

    Please be aware that you are not communicating with Apple when you post in these forums. Most of the people who will reply to your posts are, like me, your fellow users.
    As to your issue, first, make sure that you did not inadvertently make an in-app purchase. Many apps, particularly games, are free for the base game but charge for additional features such as levels, "coins" and other such add-ons. Check your Purchase History to see if that reminds you as to what you might have purchased:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2727
    If you find that this was an in-app purchase, to prevent this from happening again, turn off "In App purchases" in the Restrictions settings on your device. For more information, see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4213
    As to a refund, that's not automatic since the terms of sale for the iTunes Store state that all sales are final. You can contact the iTunes Store, explain the reason for your request, and ask, though:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html
    They're usually pretty lenient in the case of inadvertent purchases, but there are no guarantees.
    If the charge was not an in-app purchase that you made and forgot but the charges do appear in your Purchase History, contact the iTunes Store and let them know. You should also immediately change your password for your Apple ID. If the charges don't appear in your Purchase History, they were probably fake charges made directly to your credit card, and your card issuer will need to handle those.
    Regards.
