Top 6 GPS apps for mobile phones

GPS applications have now come down to the level of being used in your mobile phones and therefore, are much handier than the actual GPS devices, which are quite bulky and which you cannot be carrying always with you. Having this in mind, mobile phone GPS applications are developed in plenty for the convenience of your use, and many a times they come preloaded.

Let us explore 6 of the top most GPS applications that are used in the mobile phones,

1.Google Maps Navigation:

This is the Google Maps application that has been brought down to the mobile phone, which acts as GPS device on your mobile allowing to find the exact locations where you are in at that instance and the way to which ever place that you would like to go. This application is available for Android 1.6 and higher platform or operating system powered mobile phone users only. This includes many of the other features of a GPS like Street View and Satellite Views.

5.Places Directory:

This helps you to locate places in your nearby location like restaurants, movie theaters, hotels and banks. This is most used application using my Android mobile which I got out of the earnings from my weight watchers promo and E-diets coupon codes blog. This not only gives the directions and address of the places that you are looking for but also the ratings of the places that you are interested to visit, and sometimes photos of the location also.

6.Copilot:

This GPS application developed for mobile phones helps in planning your travel route as you travel, and is especially useful when you are travelling in cities, which are much prone to traffic, so that you can change the route and reach the desired destination without delay. This is very useful in North America, and requires storage of maps of the places that you are visiting and has better user interface.
