    Can anyone recommend a good free or cheap sat nav for the iPhone 4? Tom Tom at 70 euro seems very dear when you could buy a sat nav for a little more. I tried skobblor and nav free but neither seemed to be able to pick up my current location ( mayo) or maybe I'm not using them properly.

    Co-pilot gets fairly decent reviews, it's cheap but not as good at the Tom Tom..
    The GPS receiver in the iphone is not too great which is why Tomtom has a cradle with built in receiver as well but it's pricey at €100..

    The good ones can be expensive, but Navigon often have sales, so keep an eye out for that one. Currently it is €30 for the UK and Ireland, up to €60 for Europe.

    They're worth it though, the cradle makes the sat nav much more responsive, while the app itself is really excellent.

    Have tried a few - Navigon tops it for me! Excellent updates - never had any issues with GPS signal - used in Europe and spot on.
    Since I have bought it there has been 1 update (free) that included updated maps.

    €60 for Europe is a good price at the moment!

    I use the Tom Tom cradle with the Navigon app, and it is very handy, not just from a gps viewpoint, but the handsfree, recharging, and iPod playing facilities make it well worth it. Plus, I got it on the black Friday sale, so I think it was only €70, but I would have paid the €100 if I'd had to.

    I'm using Navfree Uk and Ireland. I have to say its not bad at all for a free satnav. It has an option to search for an address using google maps which means it can find anywhere you want.
