Yes, there is a lot of apps, but I've only been using android for a few
weeks. I can list the applications I have used and the ones I like to use,
but I think there may be others who may no a bit more then I do who might
like to comment. They could always ask over at the eyes-free list on google
for info about gps / navigation apps people are using.
