Best GPS app?
« on: December 23, 2014, 08:19:37 AM »
 I'm rigging up wiring, mounts, etc. to use my phone (Samsung Galaxy S4) as a GPS.

 What GPS app are you using? I don't mind paying for one if it's really worth it.

Ditto on my Android. Though I use a Garmin in my car.

Google maps is more accurate and I use it as my fall back whenever Waze can't find something. Waze is great because people (drivers) are constantly updating accidents, road conditions, LEOs etc.

+1 on Waze. It's a great app and, if there are enough other wazers in your city to update it, it flags construction, speed traps and accidents.

Anybody ever had a "most curviest route" app? :D  I like to go places on my bike, and have a good ride in the process.

You mean like this? It wasn't cheap, but I justified the price by not owning a "smart phone". I have been extremely happy with it, especially for long trips. I finally got tired of dealing with a rigged up car GPS that wasn't weather-proof.
