Talking GPS Software

Other than AMAZE, is there any other free gps software that uses voice for turns, etc.? Also, what commercial gps software that uses voice would you recommend?

Re: Talking GPS Software

I've been reading a few reviews. Looks like Nav4All may be the best of the free. Any comments or negatives?

Mapquest navigator 5 is really good, does everything that Sprint Nav does plus night mode and lots of other cool features, best of all is is 50 bucks a year.

I use both a stand-alone GPS unit & GPS apps in my phone. I think GarminXT is hands down the best phone app.

Agree. I have tried both TT7 and Garmin XT on my TP and found that Garmin both looks better and easier to use.

I guess, though, the hardest thing to test and most important thing is the quality of the maps, so I don't have any real comparison there.

Re: Talking GPS Software
