Robin posted on 247 about an article he had written comparing routes on the major iPhone apps available. It fits quite well with my article above and shows that there are advantages and disadvantages to every solution.
“Someone called Pakman, commented on the CoPilot vs TomTom review, that CoPilot Live is making questionable routing decisions. I requested live examples so I can do something with it.
Because I did not receive any, I decided to compare several routes with all the GPS apps on the EU market, namely Sygic, CoPilot Live, iGO My way, TomTom and Navigon.
Many articles have been written about this subject already for conventional GPS PNDs but not many about the iPhone apps.
Also I will try to visualize the logic of TomTom IQ routes.
One thing to keep in mind is that TomTom and Sygic uses the Map Technology of TeleAtlas, while the others use NAVTEQ.
I created 4 test routes.
1. A route from within the city to an outside city
2. A route from the east side of the city to the west side
3. A route from the east side of the country to the west side
4. A route from one country to another country”
