Is the sat nav knackered or just the US map bit? Title: Re: USA Sat Nav Post by: The_nun on August 11, 2013, 08:12:01 PM Yes... not sure what is not working. It will not find Satellites so i sent it on a holiday with a work colleague who has a place out there and they couldn't get it to function. So i have given up the ghost on it. That was the Garmin.

Title: Re: USA Sat Nav Post by: Woodsey on August 11, 2013, 08:30:18 PM I don't know if you have an Iphone or I pad but Nav Free is a very good sat nav that is free. I have the UK one and its decent and I drive every day for my job. There is also a US version.
I've just seen that android have the same app also. You can pay a quid or something to get rid of ads, but its not necessary really, still works ok.

If so, get that and bill me for it. Title: Re: USA Sat Nav Post by: The_nun on August 11, 2013, 08:39:56 PM No way Tom. THAT is just Not me. it was just a timing thing. gtfo. xx
Title: Re: USA Sat Nav Post by: RED-DOG on August 11, 2013, 08:42:49 PM No way Tom. THAT is just Not me. it was just a timing thing. gtfo. xx Don't get me wrong, I'm only offering because I think I broke the first one. :P Title: Re: USA Sat Nav Post by: The_nun on August 11, 2013, 08:47:00 PM No way Tom.

I can download the USA on to a £5 memory card for £35. Just looked at Woodsey's idea, looks spot on. Called Nav Free USA. Joo downloading it right now.

I used the google maps navigator on my android phone and that was great, it did door to door turn by turn directions. I did have a data connection though. Title: Re: USA Sat Nav Post by: Woodsey on August 11, 2013, 09:44:49 PM No data connection required with Navfree, the map is on the device and it just uses the GPS.
Title: Re: USA Sat Nav Post by: Graham C on August 11, 2013, 09:46:56 PM Silly question but when you use sat nav programs on the phone does it just do it or would it use wifi/3g mins or whatever? I mean, if you use it in another country, is it really free to use or will you get phone charges of some kind?
Ah, I see Woodsey has answered my question before I asked it! Title: Re: USA Sat Nav Post by: redarmi on August 11, 2013, 10:09:42 PM I use Nav free in Florida every week when I am there. It is fine.....the voices annoy me but they get you there.
Title: Re: USA Sat Nav Post by: The_nun on August 12, 2013, 06:57:19 AM So the nav free does not require no data connection?. Dont you get charged then to connect to GPS? I use it over here all the time never a sat nav but thought i would be charged over there? Tmobile

Tmobile There is no charge for connecting to GPS Maureen, just make sure nav free is downloaded before you go and switch data off when you get there.
