Google Maps Navigation App in Beta offers a number of features that most GPS navigation apps users will be familiar with. You can search in plain English by just typing or speaking the name of the place you want to go to. You can also get a map of traffic, and search along your current route for any type of business that you may need. It really comes in handy when you need to find a gas station in an area that you are not familiar with. It’s important to remember not to use any of the manual features like search by text or any of the views such as traffic, satellite or street view while driving.

You can switch over to car dock mode to give you only the options that should be used while driving. One thing that this navigation app gives that many others do not is reliability for offline data. Even if you lose signal, the software continues giving instructions based off the most current data that was downloaded. You can even get continued auto rerouting and guidance while offline, which is an impressive feature that others simply haven’t mastered yet.

FlightTrack Android App Review

Description:

If you are a traveler, which you probably are since you reading about navigation apps, then you have just stumbled upon the best flight tracking app that has ever been created.  We aren’t joking around when we say that the new FlightTrack app is the most comprehensive flight tracking app that we have ever seen. What makes this app so amazing?  Let us tell you!

The first reason are the features and functionality.  FlightTrack is easy to use, easy to navigate, and runs smoothly without force close notifications.  This app is the best way to track domestic and international flights in real time.  The app is so real time that you can look on google maps and see exactly where the plane is on the designated route.  Now that is powerful!  The app also has widget capability so you can get updates directly on your home page on your android phone so that you can see what is going on in a selected flight at any time.  The app gives detailed flight information so that you know what is going on, and the app will send you notifications when a flight status changes so that you are always kept up to date as far as what is going on with a selected flight.

Features:

• This app allows you to track flight and stay updated as well as informed while traveling
• you can search flights by number, route, departure, arrival, and date
• once you select a flight you can save it and get auto notifications any time the status changes on the flight
• you can also get information such as gate and baggage info, airport details, and weather forecasts based on the GPS location of your phone.
• You can even get real time travel data by using a google maps feature which shows you where on the route the airplane is with an ETA.

This app totally kicks butt when it comes to finding good information that shows where things are.  If you are a business that picks people up from the airport all the time, you need this app.  If you fly once a month or once a week, you need this app.  This app severely reduced the frustration that can be caused by bad airport information.  With this app you will always be on top of the travel game.

Conclusion:

This app costs $4.99 and has been given a 4 1/2 out of 5 star rating!
