If you want the best experience, I would say you need to purchase 3 apps, but
you would only run 2 at a time. For navigation and following roots, I would
suggest getting the navigon mobile navigator, and the TomTom gps app. This is
because each one uses different maps, and some of the features are slightly
different. However, you would use one or the other here, not both at the same
time. For determining where you are, the sendero look around app will tell you
your closest streets, as well as provide the closest addresses and points of
interest. You would then enter a destination in to either navigon or TomTom,
then once you're following the root, open the sendero app. There's really no
need to switch back to the app that is following the root unless you want to
change the destination. Sure, it's a few different apps, but you're paying
about $100 compared to several hundred. Of course, each person must use what
works best for them and what they can afford, but for me, this set up works
quite well.
