Want to prepare the best use of your iPhone’s GPS navigation capabilities? Why not try on the NDrive navigation solution for size? that $32.99 app is half as cheap as those provided by TomTom, Navigon or Magellan, but it ain’t too shabby either with built-in maps, motorized day/night switching for easier viewing, speeding ready alarms, alphabetical or QWERTY keyboard option, POIs with favorites, descriptions, phone and website urls as well as voice directions. What do you think?
