Magellan RoadMate App for iPhone for the USA

Nipping at the heels of Google’s evil plan to decimate the navigation industry, Magellan joined the iPhone app party with a new GPS app last year. The application basically replicates the functionality of a typical Magellan PND, right down to the interface. In fact, rather than give the Magellan iPhone app an ‘Apple-y’ look, Magellan chose to stick to its own look, right down to replacing the iPhone keyboard. Features include turn-by-turn directions with spoken street names, 3D landmarks, lane guidance, a “Find My Car” GPS function, address book integration, in-app music controls, a pedestrian mode, and Magellan’s OneTouch feature that places oft-used features within one tap of the touchscreen.

Magellan GPS today announced availability of the Magellan RoadMate App for iPhone for the United States and Puerto Rico.The Magellan RoadMate App for iPhone uses the same award-winning interface as our dedicated personal navigation devices. Best of all, the app is a one-time purchase with no recurring subscription fees.
