What's the BEST voice command iPad GPS?

I'm surprised this didn't get more hits when I searched, so forgive me for posting... but I GOTTA know as I'm falling out of love with MapQuest GPS app, which I thought was killer, well it certainly isn't bad and the price, right? FREE!
But I need something better and I'd love an app that gave me optional routing like MapQuest does online via browser but not in it's app. How odd. Are there any iPad GPS apps that give you multiple route choices? Car Navs do too.
I also think we need an S&M voice that beats you mercilessly if you make a wrong turn   Kidding. Well, sort of. Really why don't GPS voices have fun?
But seriously, what say you Apple Discussions Crowd? What's the must have, don't even think of getting any other app, this one will change your life. Etc.
What is the panicea of voice command GPS iPad apps. If it maes a diff, I have an iPad1.
Thx,
Steven

Yeah I had it take me way off course once too. But usually it's been pretty good. But I kept thinking you get what you pay for and if you get one that costs versus free it may be better. I just downloaded GPS Drive MotionX but the interface is a bit complex where as MG is easier but MotionX got a lot of positive reviews so I thought I'd try it. I'm trying to input a trip and finding it hard to input a starting point that is not where you are whereas MQ is easy.
I'm sure it's there, but not obvious in MotionX. Should be a button for start and then destination. Seems evertything I do sets the destination and can't figure way to set the start point and the system defaults to your GPS location as opposed to a start other than that.
Every button I press the voice asks for my destination. I can't figure how to set a start point. Hmmm.
Maddening. Everything is about the destination. Can't set origination.
I give up. I'll contact their tech support to find out how to set start point.
Shouldn't be this hard or unobvious. Bad user experience. Completely unintuitive. BUT.. once I figure it out, it may be as great as all the positive reviews in the App Store say about it. I'll let you all know...

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    First, use speech recognition. It's installed on OS X, so you don't have to install a third-party app. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11258?viewlocale=en_US

  • What is the best voice to text paid app for iphone 5?

    what is the best voice to text paid app for iphone 5?

    I use Dragon Dictation, but it is free. The microphone also works for dictating text in the Messages app, notes, email. With that, you just tap on the microphone key by the space bar.
    Is this what you are looking for? Why does it have to be a paid app?

  • What is the best slim/light iPad 3 case under $40?

    Is anyone else OCD about buying the perfect case for the ipad 3?  I had an Apple Smart Cover but I don't think it provdies enough protection and functinality for the price so I'm selling it. 
    Anyway, what is the best iPad 3 case with a slim and light design under $40? 

    I know you said under $40.00 but I just thought I'd share it anyways...I got the Targus Slim case usually go for $50.00 but if you shop around online, you can get it at about $42 to $46.00 the cheapest.
    The case is beautifully made, slim and fantastic material (not cheap looking ). Though I must say that I had trouble with this case at first since Targus released the case without knowing that iPad had change the position of the new iPads magnets which a lot of cases out there is having same problem with the auto on and off feature when you open and close the cover but fear not since Targus has great customer service, when I called them and explained the problem, they honestly admit that a lot of people are experiencing the same and sent me a new corrected case and told me too that I don't have to send them the first one I got for a replacement....what a service.
    Here's the link of the product....

  • What is the best voice to text app for iPad Air?

    I had the app Dragon (a voice to text app), on my iPhone and downloaded it to my iPad Air, but it's not working. Reading the "help" area it says something about ATT iPads don't support it. I have ATT.
    But, I can open the app and it reads "Tap and dictate" as though all is fine and dandy and then after practically yelling into almost every part of the iPad (to no avail), it just says " Sorry message not recognized. Please try again."
    Can anyone help me on this?  Also is there a better/best dictation app for iPad?
    Thanks, Joan

    You can use text-to-speech in any app. I'm a big fan of the app Drafts as it allows two touch tranfer to any number of other applications, not unlike how I recall Dragon worked. If you don't want to spring for Drafts (though I can't recommend it highly enough!), you can always use the built in Notes app then copy and paste when you're done. 
    No, you can't see the words as you speak. However, you can always stop after a couple of sentences and review.
    Best of luck.

  • What is the best app for ipad printing

    I Would like to print from my iPad 3 without changing my printer which is wifi. Is there a good app for it?

    Best is relative.
    You can see if your printer manufacturer recommends any. Some apps may work better with some printers.
    If not, I see Print Central, Printopia and Print n Share recommended a lot.
