GPS Navigation App that doesn't suck?? Or am I doing something wrong?

The store category "Navigation" has a ton more than 10 apps in it, but they are geared toward a great many different things - from geocaching, to hiking, sailing, driving, orienteering, finding your parked car,....

If you want to search, you need to search for something more specific, like "road navigation" or "street navigation"

I know in there you should find Garmin, TomTom, MotionXGPS Drive, Verizons nav app (requires a subscrition added to your plan), AT&T Navigation app (also, needs service added to plan), and several others.

Most of the top sellers and best rated will be right there on the first screen if you go to categories - Navigation

The Maps app is not a true navigation app, it's really just meant for finding stuff and basic directions. There are several good nav apps in the app store... TomTom and Navigon are two. MapQuest is another and it's free. Google for reviews.

There is an entire section in the app store for "Navigation" so browse through there. You have options of everything from expensive commercial apps like TomTom with true turn-by-turn navigation and dynamic rerouting, to inexpensive apps like MotionX and free apps as well.

Another thing to keep in mind when picking one is data. Some, like the iOS map app, need a live data connection to stream the map images as you move around. Others like Garmin or TomTom will install with preloaded maps, so can work fine without a data connection as the only thing they may pull from the internet would be real time traffic data and such, but not the map images themselves. Still others like MotionX's products (they make a bunch of nav apps for different applications) will let you cache map data to use when off line - although it can be slow to download very large mapped areas like a 100 mile radius or something big like that.

So depends on what you intend to use it for, how much you pay for data and where you wll be using it.

My problem is not the re-routing - though that is a pain, my problem with it is the 50% of the time you put in one address, and it searches a completely different location - different street, different city, different state - 1/2 way across the country! And it isn't that the address you are putting in is incorrect or that if you put in the name of the place it won't find it, because it does. I never have this problem with google maps on my PC. Of course Google denies any responsibility for it, says it's an iPhone issue. I even asked it once to find my current location - it located me 950 miles away from where I was...how does that happen?? Is the satellite confused? Renders it useless.
