Hi,

What's missing with NowNav is the ability to save favourites recorded by
your voice.  So when you save a favourite, you have to type in its name.
This is sometimes not practical.  What would be nice is the ability to hit
the add favourite button, then record a small message that would be played
when you reach it.

I also don't like it's turn by turn, because it's not smart enough to pick
the shortest/fastest route, and you have no ability in a car to avoid tolls
for example.  So I would leave that to Google Maps.

The turn by Turn in NowNav is pretty basic, and really only any good for
walking.

All the best

Steve

NowNav provides both turn by turn directions and the ability to save
favourite places (aka Waypoints). It doesn't support public transit as such,
but will announce bus stops, rail stations as you approach them.
