Hitting the road with iPhone GPS apps: A holiday buyers guide
We’re about to hit the big holiday travel peak, and it’s a great time to survey what we’ve seen this year for iPhone GPS apps. GPS navigation by satellite has been around a long time, but it’s never been this inexpensive or desirable. There’s an explosion of choices, with competitive features and falling prices. For many of our readers, facing long trips to see family and friends, getting the right GPS app is a priority.
A few words about this guide: I haven’t seen or tested everything on the market, and the choices are constantly changing and updating. I’ve done my best to keep up and get some time on the road with each of the apps listed here. If I haven’t talked about your favorite app, it’s not because I don’t like it, but because I can’t vouch for it.
