It is not 2009 anymore, when my iPhone friends were impressed with my Windows Mobile and its offline navigation.
As far as I am concerned, I have no reliable navigation solution to actively route me around occurring traffic jams. Thus we didn't, and still do NOT have dynamic traffic rerouting. We had improvements with HERE Drive for Windows Phone 8, but development for it stopped in 2013 after it wasn't included in the Nokia deal.
I guess we at least have something for use on uncongested roads: with Windows Phone 7 there was Bing Navigation where you needed to touch the screen for prompts, and it didn't offer rerouting. So far, the only app that works for that is Waze, which is broken without voice guidance at this point, and has not been updated since 2014. It is extremely important in and around cities. The free version of CoPilot GPS is enough to get you around town and you have the benefit of choosing which upgrades fit your needs the best, as they are needed.ĭownload CoPilot GPS from the Windows Store (opens in new tab)Īnd NONE of these apps, (or any that I have seen in the Windows Store, aside from old, half-broken Waze) offer live dynamic traffic rerouting. The ActiveTraffic is also a subscription service ($9.99), but a free 7-day trial is included with the free version of CoPilot GPS. You can purchase a lifetime subscription to voice guided navigation for $9.99.
These subscriptions start at $0.99 a month for voice-guided navigation and can be as high as $26.99 for some regional maps. The free version of CoPilot GPS covers the basics with additional in-app subscriptions to enhance the app's capabilities. The ActiveTraffic is a subscription service ($9.99) but a free 7-day trial is included with the free version of CoPilot GPS. Combined with the ActiveTraffic feature, that monitors traffic reports and helps you avoid delays, you can better plan your commutes. There is also a CommuteMe feature where CoPilot learns your preferred daily route to work.
