Best sat nav app has to be waze
Discussion
Just drove back from Bury st Edmonds to Inverness. Waze gave me a estimated arrival time upon start of the route. Arrived within 3 minutes of that time 500+ miles later.
Really impressed with how it accounts for traffic including the future traffic based on what normally happens. On my way down it was out slightly as it had to detour me due to a accident but can't really blame it, made a change about 30 minutes in advance and told me due to a accident.
Best I've used!
Cool story bro etc.

Waze is good, but so are:
- Here maps - you can download the map of the UK (and other countries) onto your phone, so you don't need a reliable data connection. Great for holidaying abroad too.
- OSMAnd - Clunky and not yet good for car navigation, but lots of local detail from OpenStreetMap.
Fully sold on Waze, and used to be a paid up Tomtom fan. If it's good enough for London uber drivers, its good enough for me. Used for the last 40k with minimal WTFs and a reliable ETA, even if it isn't in my favour
For some of the comments about Waze leading into the traffic: Sometimes the route is still the shortest despite the traffic, and sometimes Waze just cant keep up with the sheer change of micro jams which pop up during rush hour.

Another vote for Waze here, just for the speed camera info
I've found here maps to be good in the UK, but really odd when abroad. When trying to take me to a beer warehouse in Ghent it sent me about 5 times round the town till I gave up and carried on with the journey. On the way back down through Belgium it diverted me off the main route through Antwerp through different tunnels than the main Kennedy tunnel, then down some country route to Bruges. Not due to traffic, this was Sunday evening on quiet roads.

I am a waze Knight now
it has reduced my avg daily commute time in london by 45 mins a day!!
and allowed me to avoid several really bad delays, including an evening when blackheath was shut for 4 hours which a friend got stuck in, i only spent an extra 10 minutes getting home
its saved me from many mobile camera and hidden PoPo as well
