It is one of the 50 states of the US.The Texas road map presented on this page features the extensive highway system in the state, which constitutes a major part of.

(What Car?) App CoPilot GPS (2 stars) Available on iOS, Android The app works well in offline mode, though, and you can pay for extra features like voice-guidance, full automatic navigation and 3D maps. It’s simple to set up and the layout is uncomplicated but we found that the app has a default mode in which the screen view is too zoomed out. Zooming in is no issue, but should you tap a shortcut and return to the original screen you have to reset the zoom-in facility manually each time. Not ideal while driving.

It also needs precise destination input to operate, which again is not always convenient for those in a hurry. (What Car?) App Navmii (3 stars) Available on iOS, Android, Windows This free version of Navmii also gives real-time traffic and hazard information. Screen and directions are clear and easily navigable, though estimations of city arrival times can be less than accurate. The input of fellow app users notifying you of events as they happen is a big plus, but the adverts that come in until you begin your journey are not.

They restrict your view of the screen. You can pay a little extra for the advert-free version and also for the addition of speed camera location alerts. Navmii’s facility to download more maps (Europe and world), is worthwhile if you need them. Some of these are free too but may have a payment requirement for ‘upgrades’, as we found with this model. (What Car?) App Google Maps (4 stars) Available on iOS, Android This is the one we’re most familiar with for guidance, whether you’re on foot or wheels.

It doesn’t disappoint. It’s clear to view and simple to set up and use with a few extra features that you don’t pay extra for. Scanning of destinations can be approximate or specific without it throwing a paddy. Planning of long or short journeys, with or without additional stops, is a doddle.

Tuning in while abroad is stress-free and familiar. The biggest ‘but’ is the fact that data can be eaten up if you don’t keep an eye on it (as well as the road). (What Car? Driver Converter Stick Ps2 Console there. ) App Here WeGo (3 stars) Available on iOS, Android Given that the company Here is behind the majority of in-car nav systems you would think they have the ideal product.

For the most part, they do: they have transferred their spec onto a smartphone app effectively, with a couple of bells and whistles other manufacturers expect payment for. WeGo is intuitive, simple to set up, use and follow.

It shows parking locations, and includes real-time traffic information with an alternative satellite view facility. This feature comes in handy if you’re needing to recognise and tally landmarks when the city route mapping isn’t precise. (What Car?) App Waze (4 stars) Available on iOS, Android This is a more interactive app whereby drivers can ‘like’ or ‘dislike’ warnings designed to keep traffic situations up to date and accurate.

It even lets you know what the incident may be; whether it’s an accident or a cow in the road, you’ll know. Interactive input is surprisingly easy to do even while on the move, building route knowledge and helping you to make the right choices. Waze was the most accurate for arrival times of all on test, probably due to this continual and comprehensive updating of real-time traffic information both by the manufacturer and by fellow users. The extra features are on the house and include the ever helpful ‘Where is my car?!’ that some of us covet. The screen layout is user friendly and the routes clear to read. Conclusion: 1. Google Maps 3.

Here WeGo Despite their established techno input in the world of motoring navigation, Here We Go slots in at third. Their routes are accurate and nicely laid out but their destination arrival times are not so reliable.

Second is Google Maps, everybody’s go-to aid. It’s familiar, simple and accurate but in this case not quite motoring-specific enough. First choice for us was the Waze app with its driver-friendly features. While it’s not perfect, it’s the simplest to use and the up to date feedback interactivity gives it the capacity to revolutionise journeys and reduce blood pressures by allowing drivers to arrive at accurately-calculated times. • More about: • • • • • • • •.
