What is best GPS navigation application for your car or truck?
Depending on how old you are, you probably recall the days of pre-printed directions, watching the odometer to count down the miles until your next exit, and a backup road atlas (for emergencies) to guide you. Now, computerized navigation is optional on almost every single brand-new car and cell phone. While most navigation apps give the same basic information, how and what information they present can be quite different. With so many choices, how can one figure out which one is the best? We’ve decided on our top 3 picks are Waze vs Apple Maps vs Google Maps. CarPlay® is installed in so many new cars that it may appear to be the leader, but Google Maps and Waze have their own unique advantages.
The most powerful navigation application in this comparison is Google Maps since all of the data is provided by the Google search engine.
Since CarPlay® is an option in many brand-new cars, Apple Maps could be the most used navigation app on the market. Apple Maps has one disadvantage, it’s only available on iOS devices.
Waze was the first to have some sort of user-generated traffic data, though other navigation applications now use the information too.
It should be no surprise, but the best NAV App depends on how you use it. If you get lost frequently, the Look Around feature on Apple Maps will be helpful and beneficial. If you use Navigation to plan your next cycling road trip, Google Maps has you covered. But, if you just need to get somewhere in the fastest time possible, then Waze is your only choice. Waze, Google Maps, and Apple Maps all have features and you truly can’t go wrong, no matter which one you select.
