Good morning fellow Ipadians!
I admit it! I'm a app-maniac! (LOL) As much as I hate to admit it, I am....
While I love the sheer simplicity of features in GPS apps such as Navigon and GPS Motion-X, I find that if you go off course once your destination is programmed, those particular apps will NOT automatically redirect you from whatever "off route" location you may have ventured to. Instead, messages appear telling you to get back on your route in order to proceed OR re-enter your destination using your current location - which is no big deal, just a bit of an annoyance.
Possibility exists that I may have missed a step (or two) when programming a recent road trip through Florida during Father's Day Weekend, and that caused me to have the issues I was having.
Fortunately for me, I remembered I also had one of my old favorites, which was the TomTom Ipad app installed on my IPad 3. Once I incorporated my settings into the T.T. app, I was a happy camper once again, cruising the back roads of the Everglades, worry-free.
Pricey app? Very! But at least I felt comfortable knowing I had a reliable back-up app that I didn't have to reset every time I decided to get adventurous and travel off the beaten path.
As I stated in the beginning of this post, I have nothing against those other apps...I think they are great...but sometimes the old favorites are like an old worn out pair of comfortable shoes - you just hate to throw it out just in case you may need them some day!
