Hi all ,

first post here,

Just wondering if there is a GPS app that does not require mobile data...,
I used to own a Garmin unit for my truck and it worked great without data plan .....
Is there an app that will work like that ??
someone at work mentioned a "CoPilot" .... any thoughts ?

any answer would be greatly appreciated.


thanks folks.
 
Yes, CoPilot can set for not using mobile data.
Navigon too.

I use both on different phones.
IMO the best turn-by-turn navigation apps that can run completely offline :)

... placed with some distance behind Navigon and CoPilot ;)

As far as I know, Sygic also doesn't need mobile data :)

I use both Sygic & CoPilot & in no way is Sygic behind in anything, they both have their pros & cons. IMO, Sygic has MUCH better graphics for maps & 3D view, & IME the GPS syncs with maps more accurately more often than CoPilot. Also the Sygic display info is better for me. A con to Sygic is that it uses 100% of the screen. I purchased CP first but on sale. To do it all over, now I would buy Sygic first & I use it the most, but I keep up with & sometimes use CP too. Navigon gets good reviews, Route 66 is also very nice but only offers one map purchase, though it is the world, so a bit more expensive to start but cheaper if you need more than one country. There is also iGo, Waze & many others. A forum search may bring up more threads to help as this is a very commonly asked question.
