Roadee Turn By Turn Navigation for a $1.99

[labman]

I know it's been mentioned but I haven't seen any threads on it here I read up on it when looking at some of the other sites over at TUAW they have a article I figured for a $1.99 it was worth a try. I just bought it I will try to play with it today a little. post some screen shots etc. here is a link to the App Roadee and the article

I think this would be a great app to have if you already have a dedicated GPS unit or one built into your vehicle. It would come in handy if you are a passenger in a friends vehicle and you needed a GPS in a quick pinch.

Debatable whether it's even worth that price over the existing Google Maps.

So what do you get? Well, sadly, not too much

This could show promise. Look at OpenOffice.org compared to Microsoft. For a Free Application, it is Great! I even use that one now more than Office.

I hope Roadee is able to do the same.

I admit Pika

Poorman's TomTom.

I a poor Man I already own a TomTom 910 it's old but it has more features then the TomTom app. Most of the time I don't need it too me paying 99 bucks for something I already have and need is crazy. It's defiantly not great and hopefully will improve in time.

pros
Cheap $1.99
has voice no street names
gets you o where you need to go.
they plan to update regularly
keeps up with you pretty well speed directions etc.

Cons
Slow Mapping even on 3G S graphics hang up allot
interface isn't the best (but again works)
will not allow you to run music in background even on jailbroken iphone running backgrounder.
maps not pretty
