Ok app

I purchased this app for iPad for my trip to Europe. I used it in the pedestrian mode in Italy, Greece and Spain and for a car when I rented it. I also purchased the two modules, one for 3d and the other for cities info which I didnt find very useful.
Hmm Id say the app in the present release is ok, somewhat useful but also somewhat confusing when compared to my Garmin. I wish there was Garmin for ipad available. Issues: the app would freeze and the small walking person would just get stuck. Not very nice when lost or while driving. The map view in the default mode was so clattered with poi that the map was not visible. Also at the beginning it was so confusing in which direction it is trying to navigate you, so the map doesnt rotate well around you. So if you are in a middle of a city and you start it and tell it to take you to some specific place, you have to start walking to see the small guy in the app if he is moving in desired direction or you need to turn around. Driving was somewhat better since you are already on the road going in a specific direction. While driving it would ask me to make u-turn in one of the busiest Madrid streets, every few seconds, for a couple of minutes. Fortunately I saw the area around the central park on the google streets, so I knew that a simple drive around the park would take me to the place. It is a decent app, but the user interface and experience need to be improved. I still think my small car Garmin did a better interface job. As I professionally build software for living, I know there is much more room to improve, but also I know it is costly investment, it doesnt come cheap. The advantage of the iPad gps was better gps then my vehicle navigator, meaning less times losing satellites, which Id contribute to the better hardware in iPad. So, I am hoping to see improved app for my next trip to Europe. In the mean time I will try Navigator for North America and will compare it to this app and Garmin. Cheers.
