What is the "best" GPS Apps? Any reviews or comparisons available?

I've been trying to find a nice review/comparison of GPS software to use on WM6. When I search I don't find anything but threads and reviews on old versions, circa 2006.

Is there a "best" or a nice comparison of current GPS software around?

Well all I can offer is my own opinion. 100% Google Maps mobile. It's great, has all of the POI's of the regular google maps, and best of all, it's free!

This is the thread where you can find the latest version.

The only downside is that it uses your data (or wifi) connection, so if you don't have unlimited data, maybe its not for you.

Good luck!

The Latest TomTom Mobile is great..also Sprint Navigation works well..I personally like TomTom just because they've been around so long and their program is just stable. The latest google maps 3.0.0.2 i believe..with the new latitude feature is also great

I personally haven't used any others but I know they exist..
Attached is a cab of Sprint Nav. (TeleNav) I believe they're the same thing..
Also attached latest google maps
and...here's a link about TomTom 7.9..I don't want to attach the cab because I'm pretty sure it's warez..(may be wrong) but it hasn't been deleted here yet..

Most of these apps are primary for urban navigation. I do a lot of trail riding where cell coverage is spotty at best. What I am looking for is an app I can pre-load maps in with way-point tracking. I used trimble with my Razr which was pretty good, but to my knowledge not available to win-mobile customers. Another of interest is being talked about here.....http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...hp?t=340667..A perfect gps app would be google map grids pre-loaded into phone with way-point tracking. Is this possible?

iGO8 is by far my favorite of the GPS apps available.

I have tried quite a few apps myself so far... and by far, Garmin Mobile XT is awesome...!!

Sprint Navegation is my favorite

One of these threads pops up every couple weeks or so and it is always the same. People's opinions of these app vary greatly. My favorite is TomTom, but the best thing for you to do is some testing of your own and see which one suits you.

Amaze gps because it is free and has voice commands over the speaker. Before using this I used google maps.
