Dated – iGO Navigation Review

The UI feels almost like it was pulled from an old school center dash touchscreen interface. Even with typing, the characters take a second to register. The menus are not very intuitive and they feel monotonous to navigate. My nuvi 2598 is snappier. The program simply does not take advantage of your phones interface. It does take considerably less space to download larger maps. Just under two gigs for the whole US. However nothing feels optimized for smartphone use. What really kills the app is it’s price. Updates are very infrequent in terms of the app itself, Maps are fine but the app should be updated more regularly. For 12.99 a year I get wayyy more functionality with TomTom Go. It’s more fluid and optimized for a smartphone. The maps are much larger, 10 gigs to 2 gigs for the US, but you get way more functionality for less money per subscription period. If the subscription fee were to drop, id consider changing my review.
