  • "You Need A Map" is a pretty good mapping program with high detail when drilled down. I like it to keep track of where I am, not to find where I'm going.
  • "Never liked mapping programs on devices that you had to hold when in use"

    I don't hold my iPad when using Forest Maps. Best five bucks I ever spent.

    That's pretty much what our iPad does in the coach.


    Ditto here, my iPad mounts to the front of the drivers side window. It neither blocks my view of the road or side mirror. Best of all the sound is terrific, especially when paired with my Bluetooth or wired earphones.

  • Howdy!

    We fulltime and I’ve been using Co-Pilot gps app for years. I use it on my iPad and phone.

  • I've always liked Navigon because you can download the maps to your iOS device instead of relying on cell coverage to download the maps on the fly. They issue quarterly updates to their maps, so they're pretty accurate.
