I wanted to avoid the situation where I would be left without navigation due to a loss of online connection. That's why I use offline navigation. I started using iGO almost thirty years ago and was happy with it. My current car doesn't have navigation. I have iGO installed on my phone. My vote: iGO
I've tried a lot of things... sygic, tomtom, you name it... i'm always back to iGO, no matter what
all navigation apps are useful in their own way... for shorter/simpler trips Waze is excellent, google maps is okay too... also Here wego and Magic Maps are very interesting too, IMO the ones closest to iGO with offline maps capability
but for me, iGO nextgen/Luna with skins (especially Pongo, arimi, vicewandel...) is still an unbeatable combo
I mostly use TomTom Go on Android Auto. You can download the maps, which makes it easier to use offline. I also like that you can set the maximum speed. The driving time is then calculated based on that, for example when driving with a trailer. However, the app starts up slowly. Because of this, the information bar is not always visible right away. You only see it once the app has fully loaded on your smartphone. That’s my only annoyance. Other than that, it works well and I’m quite satisfied.
Igo, sometimes Sygic too, because it has better support for displaying houses in smaller settlements.
iGo Primo NG Israel version 9.18.24.687519, with 'HERE-TomTom' mapchanger and only few UX additions.
Hello, I've been traveling in a motorhome for many years through many European countries, and I've used TomTom, Garmin, and Automapa, but since I started using Igo Primo on a slow Windows 10 tablet, I loved it for all the route information it provided when using skins, and for being able to input vehicle measurements. Now that I've switched to Android, I'm certain I want to continue using Igo.
That's why my vote is for Igo.
IGo on my car navi system and Google Maps on my smartphone for short trips.
iGo Primo with HERE maps on my car navigation system
That’s a great question!
For my dedicated car units, my absolute favorite is iGO Primo. In my opinion, it’s the king of customization for WinCE systems like my Erisin and older hardware. I love the way you can tweak the sys.txt to optimize performance, the huge variety of 'branding' files for custom POI icons, and how reliable it is even with 128MB or 256MB of RAM. It just feels 'professional' and built for the car's dashboard.
When it comes to my Peugeot RT4, I still have a soft spot for the original Magneti Marelli maps, as they integrate perfectly with the car’s secondary display, even if updating them is a bit more manual.
On the smartphone side (my iPhone), I usually go with Waze for daily city driving because of the real-time traffic alerts and speed cam community reports. However, for a long road trip where I want a clean, dedicated interface without phone interruptions, I always go back to a well-configured iGO on my head unit.
There's just something satisfying about seeing a custom WolfNCU skin launching a perfectly tuned navigation engine!
I'm a long time iGo user, but I find myself using Google Maps via wireless Android Auto on the car headunit more and more with iGo just running in the background to tell me when I'm speeding - Although the HERE maps for Australia are not very good, more roads don't have attached speedlimits than do
