Re: Turn by Turn GPS

There's a couple of other threads about Amaze on here. One of the fun things about it is that you can easily replace the icons & sounds the program uses with ones you create. So, you could have your wife or kid telling you to turn left in 800 feet. Pretty neat.

Even though I really like the program, I'm not too crazy about it. The worst thing is that it sometimes has a hard time finding addresses. For some stupid reason, it can't even find my house, my work, or half of the destinations I put in. The program also will give you alternatives if it can't find the address... so you have to be careful when choosing these or you'll end up on the other side of the town.

I actually use Microsoft's "Live" more than Google or Amaze (I have all three on my phone.) It simply has more options and features than Google, is more reliable in my area, and can find just about anything. While the Amaze concept is great, it just isn't ready to be THE GPS program you depend on.

If & when Live gets voice prompts, Amaze will be deleted from the phone...
