    Turn by Turn Navigation for Android

    I have an android smartphone but no data plan. I want to use the GPS facility for turn by turn navigation. Can any one recommend a Tom Tom or Igo type navigation program for Android that work well and comes with its own maps - noting I do not have a data plan so a gps system than relies on downloaded maps like google maps is of not use. If there is one can you tell me where to get it - a link would be great as I find the app store awfully confusing and never found anything there.

    I will be putting on ozi-explorer on later for off road navigation but just looking for something that covers onroad.

    Thanks

    I use Sygic, and it seems OK. Only thing is to remember to do your upgrades on wifi, as they can be very big - 200-300MB!

    Thanks but I need some sort of visitor password which I don't have to download the Primo software so I will look for something else.

    cheers

    Do you think it is worth the 22 Euros - any pros or cons before I buy it?

    Thanks

    Samsung phones come with Navigon. Have to pay for added features though.
    You can buy it in the market too.
    All maps are downloaded to device.

    I like it except that it doesn't seem to have an avoid tolls option.

    sygic worked well on the iphone, used it for years

    haven't looked at the android version as i have navigon on the samsung phone which seems to go okay although i preferred the sygic interface, myself.

    I've been using Sygic for about 3 yrs without problem. It's built around Tom Tom maps. IMHO it's far superior to the Navigon app on the wife's samsung.

    As Ranga said just be mindful of the updates.

    Is the brand of the phone important - Samsung has been mentioned which I do not have - Motorola Defy.
