I have a Galaxy 6 and I've been using Google Maps for a while. It really isn't great. Not bad on the more simple stuff but ask it to find a decent route through London. No chance.
It just seems to have no concept of fastest routes, roads that were supposed to be clear weren't. Always seems to go for the easiest route despite knowing the traffic is bad. Underestimates any delays that traffic will cause.

That kind of thing.

Are there any other Nav systems that might be worth putting on my phone. Or what else would you recommend.

Thank you all for the replies so far. I'd not heard of Waze before now but it certainly sounds like it's worth a look.

Cheers.

Not a bad idea. The worst things it does are sometimes telling you what to do slightly after the event and taking you on big diversions rather than saying "please perform a U-Turn".

For me I’ve had non integrated Nav and integrated Nav.

Integrated makes the dash far better and the Nav (in the Cars I’ve owned) has been in the right line of sight whereas the alternate have been on the screen so cutting down on viewable road.

Non integrated always took much longer to load up maybe modern ones are quicker

They leave horrible marks on the windscreen and need wires hanging on the dash to the charger.

Looks cheap and it’s old school vs integrated as that is now very very common so it’s a dying breed
What decade do you live in?
And I'm also looking for something to use in the cars I already have. The newest is 15 years old.
