Thanks. I have also used Navigon for years since Google did not have turn by turn. It had a bug where it would not parse correctly any address that had a suite or apartment (has been fixed in some release). Because they never fixed for a while another company created an app call Navigon Now which would search your contacts and then start Navigon with the address parsed correctly. Hopefully Google will address this soon so we don't have to this route.
Actually I have been very happy with Apple Maps. However, like I said I generally have contact records for all of my addresses. Sometimes with Apple Maps when you do a search the address is wrong. So I was planning to use Google Maps as a backup when I do not know the address. However, it would be better to also be able to use it with my contact list as a backup as well. Crazy that they do not support contacts.
Then you will be happy with Apple Maps. It has a very simple interface. I like the interface better then any that I have used. However, I would not mind a few more features like speed limit on the road I am on. Navigon has it and it is handy.Since we seem to be having this conversation just between us, I will quote you again
I am still on my 4 until Christmas, then I get my new 5 and am very much looking forward to Siri and Apple Maps with turn by turn. I have never really relied on any POI data of any GPS software I use (even my stand alone Garmin). I always type in an address or pick the address from my contacts.
