IPhone Navigation

Good afternoon. Now I would like to present you an overview of three navigators for iPhone.
Sygic vs. Navigon vs. iGO



For tests, I used hacked versions of programs (I’m not ready to pay 99 $ + 119 $ + 99 $ for a review), therefore I had the following disadvantages:
0. Navigon - a program for Europe was taken, all maps were deleted, a map of Russia was
downloaded 1. Sygic - taken the program is for Australia, and the cards are replaced by the same program, first released in Cydia (iDa)
2. iGo does not have a map of Russia - I wrote a review on the map of Ukraine.

So, let's begin.

0. Sygic.

Before each launch, we see a warning page.

The program interface works very quickly, it is beautiful and easy. The transition to horizontal mode occurs instantly.

Loved the keyboard.

There is a night mode. The

Navigator speaks Russian with a not-so-pleasant Natash voice.

Outcome: I was not comfortable using the program.
Pros:
Beautiful, well-thought-out interface
Good maps from Teleatlas
Rich settings
Built-in value converter

Maybe I’m critical, but not only maps are important for me in the navigator, but also the convenience of working with them.
So, cons:
It takes a very long time to think if you turn the wrong way.
On the main screen of the map, a menu opens at any touch, i.e. there is no way to scroll cards forward and see the route further away.
Natasha tells us about the turn only 200 meters away, which of course is very small. (They say that it’s normal outside the city)
I didn’t like the voice that the turns are voiced.
The program does not notify you of a route change by voice.
Cost $ 100

1. Navigon

The program is finished for Russian craftsmen, so it's too early to talk about stability. But in general, apart from the big brakes when choosing a city and street, as well as an ugly interface, the program is better than the previous analogue.

Main menu:

Selecting a city and street:



Horizontal mode:

Night mode is also present:

Settings are not rich, but enough:


Outcome:
I liked the program
Pros:
Quickly finds the current location and correctly determines it, even if it is turned the wrong way.
The voice is not that very pleasant, but better than Sygic
Detailed maps (merit not Navigon)
Warns really in advance
If you touch the screen, 2D mode will turn on, and you can move the map with your fingers. I emphasize that the card does not slow down at all when scrolling.

Cons:
Poor design
Some brakes
Names of cities and streets need to be entered in transliteration
Not for sale with Russian cards

2. iGO

Fully I had failed to assess, since it does not have maps of Russia, and to replace it with his hands, too, is impossible because of the license file

Summary:
Pros:
Beautiful interface
most pleasant voice
Famous brand
Good cards

Cons:
Large weight (1 gigabyte) with all cards at once
A bunch of unnecessary things (choice of how your car will be displayed, etc.)
To start driving you need to press the 5-6 button (versus 2-3 in analogues above)
No map of Russia
I can’t say anything about the reaction rate, but the program doesn’t work very fast, rather, on the contrary, it slows down a little.
High price (120 euros)

Draw conclusions, gentlemen.
I came to the conclusion that I will continue to use my old PDAs with iGO installed on it for navigation - many times more convenient.
