How to use your iPhone as a GPS navigation system
One of the most anticipated features on the iPhone 3G was the inclusion of GPS systems technology. Apple's inclusion of GPS (Global Positioning System) in its portable phones allows users to get directions anywhere in the world.
It doesn't matter if you're in the car or on foot in a strange city, the iPhone makes it simple to know where you are and how to get to your destination.
First of all, before we list the top 10 GPS apps for the iPhone, let's go through using the built-in Maps app.
Step 1 Tap “Settings” and go to “General.Ensure that "Location Services" is switched on.
Step 2 Go back to the “Home” screen and tap “Maps.On the screen (bottom left) tap the Scope icon. Click OK if the iPhone asks if Maps can use your current location. The iPhone GPS will now locate where you are.
Step 3 Tap the “Directions” tab on the bottom of the screen. Enter the address of where you want to go in the "End" field. Tap “Route.”
Step 4 At the top of the screen, select your mode of transportation: Car, Bus, or Walking. A green push pin should identify your current spot on the map. The red pushpin is your destination. A message at the top should indicate the number of miles you are from your destination and approximately how long it will take to get there.
Step 5 Tap the “Start” button on the upper left corner of the screen. Maps will give you step-by-step instructions on where to head next. The iPhone GPS will track your movements and show your location as you move.
Top 10 iPhone GPS apps
Besides Maps, there are many other applications now available in the iTunes app store that utilize the GPS on the iPhone.
1. MobileNavigator: Navigon’s official GPS application for iPhone. It is one of the more powerful GPS applications ever built for the iPhone. Provides you with all the confidence you need to get on the road and start driving without any doubts.
2. TomTom for iPhone: TomTom for iPhone has a lot of potential. While not all there, TomTom have done a great job of replicating their software on the iPhone.
3. Mobile Maps America: Mobile Maps America turns your iPhone into a super GPS and provides you with turn by turn directions. The 3D maps are incredible and accurate directions were very welcoming.
4. iGo My Way: iGo My Way one of the elite GPS apps for iPhone. Excellent 3D graphics and there's no need to pay monthly fees. European and other versions are available as well.
5. G-Map U.S. East: G-Map U.S. East is a cool GPS solution for iPhone that helps you get directions and navigate your way through your city without too much trouble. The maps are on a par with my Garmin GPS device.
6. G-Map U.S. West: similar to G-Map East, but it’s made for the Western states. If you live in California and around that area, you should be using G-Map U.S. West.
7. AT&T Navigator: AT&T Navigator is an AT&T GPS service that provides you with voice directions while you are on the go. Costs $9.99 per month. Wish the cost was covered in the phone bill already!
8. MotionX: MotionX is one of the best GPS app on iPhone. It has Facebook integration also. Perfect solution for hunting, bush walking and the outdoors in general. Has been a top-seller for months it seems.
9. SayNDrive: SayNDrive is a navigation application for iPhone that lets you say your destination and get your directions fast. Essentially a voice-GPS app for iPhone.
10. iWant Pro: iWant Pro is a cool POI finder that lets you find restaurants, shopping places, and more all around you. If you are outdoors a lot of the time then you'll love iWant Pro.
As you can probably guess this is only a sample of the iPhone GPS apps available – there are plenty more including UrbanSpoon, Where and HearPlanet. In truth the iPhone has encouraged a lot of users to get more out of GPS systems. Never lose your way again! It’s no wonder that so many fleets around America are relying on GPS navigation and taking advantage of the growing trend towards SaaS web-based telematics!
