AT&T Navigator for iPhone 3.0 OS

AT&T Navigator

Well it appears to me that AT&T has jumped on board and created it’s own navigation application that gives turn-by-turn navigation. It only has a few reviews in the iTunes App Store, but most of them are favorable.

One review reads:

First of all, the maps are clean and accurate. The colorful map display seen on the app iTunes page only shows up when a route is planned, otherwise, the maps look a lot like Google maps. Directions are spoken nice and loudly including street names. Lane assist is not a feature. Maps are not downloaded which can be a problem when traveling in remote areas. I’ll be giving a good trial for one month but it is doubtful that I will keep it. This is good for those who only need temporary…GPS for a vacation or road trip without the expense of a stand alone GPS.

Concerning that last part, my response would be, “Ya think!” While the app itself is free, the monthly service is $9.99 per month, charged to your AT&T wireless bill. However, you can cancel at any time. The reviewer above gave the app three stars.

Personally, I’d give it 2 stars because I’d have to pay a monthly fee just to use it. Any thoughts on this fellow iPhone owners?

  • I used AT&T Navigator with my Samsung BlackJack and was very happy with it.
  • Would you say that you are a frequent user of AT&T's Navigator app at the time?
  • I used it daily, especially during my commute as the Windows Mobile version I was using included traffic information and alternate routing.
  • In that case, I think it was very beneficial for you. See I have a very small commute each morning for where I work. It's maybe once a month that I may find myself in great need of traffic info nor directions.
  • I would say the need for it really depends on how often you're out and
    about. There's an app in the App Store called G-Map that does the same
    thing (without the voice directions, though) for about $20, but it
    also requires over a GB of space on your iPhone for the map (Eastern
    or Western U.S.).

    Down here in central Florida everything is very spread out, so a
    navigation aid is very handy.
