I seen that a few months ago and think it looks pretty good, however, don't think it will replace nova

Might give it a go later and see

It's not as good as Nova.

Nothing else is as good as Nova.

 

[Nexus18]

Yeah just been looking through the features quickly on videos etc. and don't think I'll bother just yet as nova has stuff I need/want

I actually prefer Atom to Nova.

Been playing super hexagon - insanely hard but very addictive.

I find google maps brilliant as a sat nav - I tried both navfree and Sygic for a while but I reverted back to gmaps as I found it better overall

That M8 does look quite nice though (and 'cute' so the missus will probably like it too lol)

Google Sat Nav works great

Waze imho is the best in car nav by a good margin

 

[bimmerboii]

Waze is pretty awesome.. although it needs more users/Wazers! It's one of those community built maps app. The more people use it, the better it becomes.

 

[trentlad]

In the US it's incredibly popular, really nice to see such a fantastic app like Waze draw in a community and provide genuinely helpful information immediately and make that decision between being jammed or slipping past all the congestion.

A few parts i really like. The usage in the uk now means on the major roads in the south usually you will get advanced warning of incidents. The routing is pretty much right and if it does a mistake like a turning i like the fact that i can and do get home and edit the map myself. The ability to send a person like the wife a link when i am running late or have a long journey also works well and they can then follow you on a pc.

But it is a community app and the more who use it the better it is so any one using the phone to act as a car nav should try it. Always have it in the car makes journeys far more interesting

Google SATNAV i have found the best. Just wish it had true offline navigation

What do you find you like about it over say waze?

For me it is great for non car nav but not sure i can see why i would use it over waze in the car.

What Web Cams ( wireless models ) can I use that I can view on my smart phone ?

 

[MrChops]

I've been using AutoGuard Blackbox for the last few days and it seems to do a good job. On my S3 though it doesn't stay in the background all the time as it wakes the display when saving files. Also the phone does get a bit hot.

What do you find you like about it over say waze?

Ive not tried waze mate.
I like the way google maps/nav syncs what i search on maps desktop and mobile so my searches are always there. Plus Ive used google loads and it has not let me down yet.

 

[AndyCr15]

I would agree, the integration and ease of finding destinations means I prefer Google Nav.

Last week I tapped an address and used Waze to open it. I honestly couldn't tell where it thought I was or where it wanted me to go. I switched to Google Nav and could tell instantly... don't know why that was :?
