I-Pad GPS App.

We can get the I-Pad GPS APP FOR $99.00.
Is any one using this over the Garmn or Rand Mc Nally.
Seeing as we already have the I-Pad.
thanks.
  • I use the TomTom North American app on my iPad. I paid $30 for it when it was on sale and it works everywhere including non-cellular areas. It's gotten me to Alaska and back. It also comes on the iPhone for that one price and the iPad version takes advantage of the extra screen real estate (i.e. not a 2X blow up of the iPhone version).

    To answer your question yes. I used to use the rand Mc Nally app for RVing. It works pretty good. I also use Navigon and Motion X Drive.They all work very well. Only issue I have with Ipad is adding different POI files.I can't add a file like for KOA campgrounds or Passport America campgrounds. I can do that with the Garmin unit and the Rand Mcnally GPS stand alone units. I also find Navigon the best. It used to be great with everything included but now Garmin nickles and dimes you to death with options.
  • I'll second NAVIGON as the best iPad/ iPhone app out there right now. Way better than Garmin who just bought the company. Hopefully they won't screw it up
  • Look at the SYGIC App. A much better offline GPS solution IMHO.
  • I use the Navigon app on my iPad and have never had a problem receiving a signal. It's as good or better than any regular GPS.

    I was thinking of getting the Rand McNally RV app but in reading the reviews I'll stick with Navigon for now.
  • You can use Streets and Trips with a much better antenna and your laptop for $45
