As technology keeps advancing mobile phone users find they have more options available on their mobile phones than ever before. One of the latest and very useful additions for smartphone users is Android satellite navigation. This is a GPS programme that is built into the phone, allowing users to map locations and retrieve driving directions in seconds.
As sat nav applications are so popular among Android users, a number of free applications have been created that can be downloaded to the phone. The most popular type of app is one that offers some storage capacity. This means that when a map is retrieved, it will be stored on the device, requiring no wireless connection to retrieve the stored data.
Some of the most popular Android sat nav applications include Google Maps, TelMap 5, CoPilot and TeleNav, which can be downloaded to a Google Nexus S and Palm Pre 2 phone. These apps are a great replacement for standalone GPS systems. Having access to a GOS on a mobile phone allows for fast and easy access to maps from around the world.
