Finally I got a very nice app that was just 0.99$ and seemed to be brilliant. I wrote to the app company with some questions and they were very quick to respond back. I finally moved ahead and bought this app and in just few moments the app was on my iphone. It was very quick and easy to install and start.

I was in my office and I entered a rough address of the hotel where I was staying. It was quick in finding the exact location from the cloud and suggested me a route. This app is known by the name of MotionX gps drive by Fullpower. It has a wonderful features and usability.  I have been using this app for almost 1 month and it rocks. I never had any issues using the application and the response time is also wonderful. Following are some of the key features:

• MotionX uses Familiar search: Just type and search, find anything, anywhere and then just follow the directions while Driving or Walking.
• Optimized Compass for situational awareness If you don’t have a 3GS yet, the compass also works with GPS motion sensing on the iPhone 3G.
• Pre-Load the maps by simulating the route before starting.
• Automatically stores the recent and most used destinations. You can also save your favorite destinations
• Landscape View helps while driving
• Swipe between Position, Navigation, and List screens for easier access while navigating
• Connected Service The app downloads the Navteq maps on the fly and also uses online search instead of stored points of interest. MotionX has a decent online search—the first in this class that I’ve seen powered by Microsoft’s Bing.
• Fully Integrated with iPhone
  • Address book integration: Find an entry in your iPhone contacts list, and MotionX will get you there.
  • iPod integration: Access playlists and listen to your music, audiobooks, and podcasts while using MotionX.
  • Phone integration: Place a phone call directly from search results.

MotionX even comes with a full free 30 day Live Voice Guidance package. which can be extended at a monthly charge of 3$. Live Voice Guidance gives access to:

• Live over-the-air maps and routing.
• MotionX 3D geospatial maps.
• Cached routes and maps for optimal performance.
• Simulation mode: See how to get there you before you go.
• Voice guidance, fully integrated with the iPod. Just drive and go.
