49 add

this version still not fully iOS6 compatible

this version still not fully iOS6 compatible. igo does not show under list of routing apps.navigon,google maps,waze, they are all there but igo is not!!

Incompatibility GPS

I was not able to use IGO My Way GPS Navigation. I have an iPad but you sold IGO My Way North America Map for iPhone to me. I need the version for iPad.

Not worth $24.99

This version does not seem to work with Dual 150 GPS module. iGo Lite works fine. No help items in menu nor in Settings to see what Bluetooth interface is doing. Very poor design, save your money and do not buy.

Keeping crashing

This app has about 99% crash rate. Good navigation app overall but useless since it crash after 3 sec

Best gps yet

This is the best gps yet for my iphone 5. Thx guys. No problem so far what so ever.

Not bad

Ive been using this app for a while now, over all its a solid app. It need to have a navigate home button, it needs a stop navigation icon on the map screen like Garmin. The other issue is after ive stopped navigating and I use it again later it seems to think its still navigating, even after canceling route. App keeps shrinking down in the app radio to 6", not sure why its doing this or even if its the iGO software causing it. Overall ist solid, but wish Garmin had app radio support as its my all time favorite. Now if iGO corrected some issues and made improvement like I suggested Id move this up to the top.

Bad support

0-stars for non-existent support. Cannot connect to server since September. Cannot use paid services. Maps out of dates since February. Reported it four times with no reply. I think this company is out of business. If not, they should be. Do not waste your money buying it.

Google local search works again!

I have purchased the app back in 2010 and I still use it as my primary navigation. I tried to use many other apps because they seemed to look better on screenshots, but I always returned back to iGo. It has so many features of professional navigator that it should not be in the same class as those one-click-I-will-help-you navigations. Just no comparison. Offline maps is a must for long distance as it will guide you to the destination and not to the edge of your network coverage. With iPhone 5 it runs so smooth! This navigator worth being wAy higher in the rank order. Its just not fair. And no, I am not part of the dev team or anythig. Just found the map worth more it appears in the store. The devs done better job than their marketing team. The screenshots are undermining the app for sure.

Sick

This version is bad it always close it by itself. I did my mistake to up load this version

very good

it is a beautiful app. I use it with the Pioneer AppRadio mostly. The GPS routing is not as good as …Google Maps? (but then again, what other mapping apps can beat Googles GPS function?) but it does the job most of the time. Every little problem can almost be forgiven when I look at the presentation. The colors and 3D are beautiful. The UI is a little too complicated, but I can usually find what I need. oh, the real time traffic is a little too expensive. If GPS and routing improves, it would be my best choice.for maps.

Horrible

It sent me in a circle. It drove me away from destination then circled me back!

Getting better

As the previous poster reported, I have experienced driving in a circle more than once in the previous version. I did send IGO an email to this fact, including my observations. In this version, I tried it on of those circle routes and this time no problem. I do find the routing has improved overall, but, still needs work. I like the fact the IGO primo is working on routing problems and other major issues. Unlike some other apps that works on bells and whistles instead on the main core problems. The majority of time, I use this app on my Pioneer AppRadio. Based upon this version, I am continuing to use IGO primo and feelings is the next version will improve again.

Traffic stopped working

I have repurchased the traffic option, however it always tells me that there are no traffic incidents now. This is wrong. I live in Chicago. There always traffic problems here.

Not a good value

The interface starts with inputting the country, then finding the state. For sakes, his SHOULD know what country you are in, it is a GPS app. Much better for the money. This is a dont bother app!,

Keyboard is awful

Get rid of that really awful custom keyboard and use the iPhone keyboard Also if I have the USA version I shouldnt have a list of every country to pick from every time.

Update please

It doesnt work if you have anything after IOS8 or later. Please fix that

Great ...., but

This could be the best nav app around but there is something wrong. Sometimes I will find a POI and it will navigate me close but not 100% correct where POI Is. For instance it tells you to turn right when you need to turn left. I emailed support but no response. A few months later and nothing fixed. Doesnt work with ios address book, and many times you search for a poi and it takes you to the wrong location...

Good, but not good enough (comprehensive review)

Ive been using this app for a few weeks now and its been love/hate relationship. When I first got it I was really impressed with the graphics and navigational options. But there a re a few bugs and some lacking features that should make you think twice about spending $80.00 on this app. Here are some of the biggest annoyances (and just in case, Yes, Global Services, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app at least twice): 1. If youre right in the middle of a very difficult intersection and you dont want to miss a turn or an exit and you receive a call thats it! The application shuts down and you are lost! (of course this has to do with apples background application policies but still the app should be ready to work around this problem. In my case, after Im done with a phone call the application tries to start back again but it takes FOREVER! to reinitiate. It has nothing to do with GPS signal lost or anything is the app itself that fails to restart, and its happened almost every single time, only in some occasions it came back working perfectly. 2. Driving south in 95 from NYC to DC at some point I decided to avoid some tolls and I decided to reroute. What the app suggested is that I drive 30 MILES BACK NORTH!! so I could get onto a different road to avoid tolls. Wheres the logic or smartness on that??? 3. App forgets your settings. You are in a long stretch and you want to use the iPhone to make a call (how dare you) so I have to leave the app, when Im done with the call I go back to the app and all my regional options are back to default! The destination (the route) is still there (thank god) but settings are out the window. Fix this! 4. How many screens down can you go? No idea but youll know it when you are trying to go back to the map of your route and you have to keep hitting the back button over and over and over. Ive not seen a button that allows me to go back to my map from any screen at any given time (except for the immediate one), this would be just a matter of common sense when you have a map up itd be nice to go back to it right away almost from any screen not just the first one down. 5. The missing features that should be a MUST. Qwerty keyboard (which Global Services says is coming soon) Live Traffic assistance. Assisted search (meaning if you misspelled something it could ask you did you mean...such, you know, like google) The smart keyboard just shuts you down, is either whats there or nothing! if you got an address wrong youre out of luck. Dimming (I forget the right term) the sound of the music when a direction is being given to you while you listen to your favorite tunes. The Good: Locks GPS signal very quickly, screen rotation is fast and clean, the line assistance feature is really a cool (unless the maps are dated which happened to me recently) The Where Am I? button is GOOD! The graphics are pretty clear, the night and day colors are beautiful. Conclusion: I believe this is a good app that is not yet fully integrated to the iPhones interface (pretty close though) If the missing features and the bugs get fixed I think this could be the one and only turn by turn application for iPhone in the market.

Ruined

So now to update the US map you have to download 6 separate regions. Awful update

With 06.11.15 update app stopped swing all roads, just shows green with no roads! Now it is useless!

Works fine for me. But I try to download the terrain pack for 3 times. Download stops in the middle and thats it - no result, doesnt meter how long you wait.
