Before I spend £30 odd on Tom tom is there any as good on I phone ?
I've used the free ones in the past but found I needed Internet connection ?
Am I wrong or was it the wrong app I think it was navfree
Thanks in advance :-)

I've got tomtom on my phone, and it works perfectly through the stereo in my car.
Can't help beyond that, sorry mate.

Nav free and pay a quid or two to get rid of the ads, nothing wrong with it. I'm a travelling salesperson and use it most days.

I use Navigon and have been very happy with it for the quite a few years now. Not sure of the cost but it cost me £40 at the time.
It only uses Internet for traffic updates.

Waze is by far the best. Real time traffic updates too.

I use Spyglass for on-road and off-road navigation. I mark waypoints, save locations to get back to them later. It allows to read maps with only GPS signal and shows your gps coordinates, altitude, speed and more. But it hasn't got turn-by-turn navigation. https://itunes.apple.com/app/spyglass/id332639548?mt=8&at=11lLc7&ct=fs |

I use google navigation because it works with voice only and the screen turned off, which uses almost no battery.
It only uses GPS t6o plan the route so that's only a couple of MBs.
I would like to find one that works without data to use abroad, even if I had to buy it, but I would like a voice only option.

Navfree works abroad too. You can download country maps in advance from the UK on your wifi to save roaming charges and using the gps is nothing to do with using data. I used it in Spain last year, worked a treat.

This could become a theme with questions you ask me Red but I don't know.
Can you not leave the screen on? Could always get an in-car phone charger if battery power is an issue.
