I used Google navigation to get up to Yorkshire, and back home, instead of our aging TomTom at xmas.

This was on a Samsung Galaxy S3 mind, but it was amazing. Voice was a little hard to hear at times, but on the way back it pretty much got the arrival time 4 hours away, bang on. It said 9pm, we rocked up at 9. Usually I'd expect an hours drift. Traffic updates were useful, but often a bit dated. At the same time they're better than nothing when you don't want to fork out a subscription for them.

always liked the google navigator thingie... but it's just a front end to there website... non of the navigation stuff is done on your phone, it's all done back at google via your data connection... and I only get 200meg of free data so I'm afraid to use it !

no idea how much it uses tbh... might be naff all... you can pre-download the maps via wifi for set areas... I was going to download all of them to sd card until i found out the navigation bit still needs data :(

I like google nav too. It's brilliant but just the galaxy s is known for having crap GPS signal and now its a bit long in the tooth it's started crashing and locking up so time came that I just needed a decent GPS solution. Don't get me wrong i am comfy with maps, just its pissing annoying having to remember lefts and rights in a busy town/city centre.
