One of the first applications that you are looking to buy a new smartphone is undoubtedly built in GPS applications. Therefore, the exception does not occur when we purchased our new Android phone, flaming, we want to be ready to guide us in almost any situation to our desired destination.

But when searching for any of these Android GPS Applications, and if we learn much earlier, with a little searching we found several GPS applications software, what we going to ask: What is the best?

To save you a good reason for spending the time to see which you like better, here we show, in varying order of recommendation, the best and most popular Android GPS applications to be found today in the Android Market:

Google Maps navigation is available from Android 1.6 software. This is the most popular Android GPS applications at this time, and that includes some features apparently, no other application has been able to match, from the Google Street View, satelitles views, and integration with Google Buzz, what we Buzzes can see directly on the map at the location where they were made. Google Maps also offers reviews of attractions.

google navigation

The good:

* Many points of interest.
* Live Traffic Report
* Street View in your destination.
* Views satellites.
* Updated maps and detailed.
* Free.

The bad:

* The maps are not stored on the device, so that it becomes impossible to use Google Maps when you’re not in town, or simply grab a good reception.
* The text-to dialogue is difficult to understand at times.
* Does not display the current speed.
* You can only make navigation a while, no shipping to multiple destinations.

CoPilot:

If you’re of those people who travel a lot, and generally unknown routes, CoPilot is the match Android GPS application for you. Copilot software works with maps that have been previously downloaded to the SD card or internal phone memory. Therefore, the more space we have, we can load maps simultaneously.

CoPilot also provides an attractive interface and easy to use while we are driving. If you’re used to a standard GPS system, “as the case may be, CoPilot Garmin is the closest, aesthetically and functionally speaking, what you’re looking. This GPS is a very complete application, giving you everything you need, except most extravagant things such as Street View.

The good:

* The maps are stored in the phone’s internal memory or SD card.
* Live features such as traffic and temperature.
* More user-friendly interface for the driver.
* Supports multiple shipping destinations.

The bad:

* You pay, having to pay $ 29.99 one time.
* Need to free memory at least 2GB of space.

Waze:

If there is any definition for Waze successful, this would be an Android GPS application that mixed with Google Buzz, Twitter and Foursquare. Waze users are called wazers. Each wazer appears in the app, so that when you are driving you can see other people nearby who are using the application. The wazers can post anything from speed bumps, to car accidents in the map (and even includes photos of the event.) One also has the ability to send messages to other users on the map, within an application without additional charge.

In areas where there are many maps wazers excellent work and sometimes even get more traffic updates in Google Maps. Waze turns the act of driving in a game, allowing us to operate on virtual objects for points, so climb the rankings. While the application is not recommended to go to places of importance, management becomes a more fun activity. It would be good in a few years Waze is popular and its accuracy improves as people begin to use it.

The good:

* Very social Android GPS application, this software can integrate with Twitter and Foursquare.
* Ability to see other wazers the vicinity.
* Ability to report traffic problems and post it on the map.
* Convert to drive in a game.
* Free

The bad:

* The GPS maps are not very accurate if there are not many wazers in the area.
* Not always brings you the best route.
* The user interface needs some improvements.
* Occasionally work or have lag.
* Do not allow more routes to 200 miles (322 kilometers).

Wisepilot:

It is another Android GPS application. Personally, I believe that implementation worth as much as to justify its cost of $ 69.95 per year. On one hand it takes you from one point to another which, itself, has sights and alerts by voice, but so do other GPS applications software, and free, except for CoPilot. The only thing that does change as opposed to other apps is that lets you manage the internet routes. So if you plan a trip, you can mapper entire trip from start to finish, including places to eat and the service stations where you stopped, and all this is recorded on its website.

The good:

* Management and favorite travel through the site via MYWISEPILOT.

The bad:

* Apply face ($ 69.95 per year).
* User interface not as friendly as one would like.
* No protruding from any other GPS applications.

Telenav:

TeleNav was the first major Android GPS applications. Many users of T-Mobile G1 started using this app for some time before Google Maps integrated navigation. Telenav gives you access to more than 10 million points of interest, traffic and more.

Although at one time was the popular Android GPS application, it had the misfortune to fall to the bottom of the list. Due to its high price and lack of support for all devices, TeleNav wins the last place as the GPS app less desirable from the list.

The good:

Easy to use.
* Address audible and well understood.

The bad:

* No support for recent computers.
* The most expensive application list U.S. $ 69.99 per year.

In conclusion

If you are driving a lot in the city, and does not leave too much for long trips where it could find no reception on the phone, Google Maps is inevitably, the best and cheapest option. However, if one is of those people who want the GPS to be handled by new borders, probably get a great benefit to pay for CoPilot. It is also recommended for anyone who prefers to keep their maps on the device, and do not use both the data plan. It also offers good navigation of multiple destinations, and other features that may be more attractive than Google Maps, if you’re willing to pay the price, of course.
