Uncover the best GPS app for your vehicle.
Depending on your age, you might remember the days of patiently checking the odometer to count down the miles until the next exit, a backup road atlas, and directions that were printed to guide you. Now, computerized navigation is available on nearly every brand-new car and mobile phone. While most navigation applications give the same kind of info, what and how the information is displayed can vary greatly. With so many different options, how can anyone decide which is the best NAV software for your car? We have decided on our top 3 suggestions: Apple Maps vs. Google Maps vs. Waze. Apple CarPlay® is available in so many brand-new cars that it may appear to be the leader, but Google Maps and Waze have their own built-in benefits as well.
The most powerful NAV application in this review is Google Maps because all of the data is provided by Google itself.
Apple Maps might be the easiest NAV app to use, thanks to CarPlay® integration with many brand-new cars. The one disadvantage of Apple Maps is that it’s only found on iOS devices.
While other NAV apps now have some form of crowd-sourced traffic data, Waze was the first navigation app to really use the technology too.
It should be no surprise, but the best NAV App really depends on how you use it. If you happen to get lost frequently, the Look Around option on Apple Maps is beneficial. If you use NAV to follow your next cycling trip, then Google Maps is your best choice. However, if you just need to get from Point A to Point B in the shortest time, Waze is your best choice. Waze, Google Maps, and Apple Maps all have their own standout features and you can not go wrong, no matter which one you select.
