It often falls behind the motion of the vehicle, especially when starting up from a stop. Unfortunately, for all its impressive UI features, the app simply does not perform well on the road (at least on my 3G iPhone). Time to take the Magellan app out for a driveвЂ¦ The POI list of categories is impressive and it appears to search out quite a ways from the specified location.

I searched for POIs that I have had occasion to use in the past, and again, the app did very well, locating obscure hotels in Cape May NJ, state and local parks in TX, and National Wildlife Refuges. It correctly located my own home (still problematic for CoPilot despite putting in 3 map correction requests) and my worst-case-address in Freeport Maine. I ran some test trips to destinations that have given me trouble in the past on other units, or where I at least knew the routing options, and the Magellan app did very well. Wherever you tap it reads the location and pops up a control that allows you to instantly enter it as a destinationвЂ¦or, if it is a POI, to call. This actually, for most trips, speeds up Address entry considerably.ДЄnother really useful feature is the tap anywhere on the map and go there thing. One really nice UI enhancement is that, as it predicts locations you might be typing in the Address entry view, it orders them by distance from your current location. It has a very easy to use in-app music control (very useful on longer trips where you might want to play iPod selections).

There are several preprogrammed, but there are also more than a dozen that you can program yourself by setting them to search categories for POIs you use often or to favorite destinations. The one touch control on the main map view brings up a new view with shortcut controls for commonly used features.

I really like the UI: controls are few and large, text entry is really aided by the enlarged keypads and smart typing (a Magellan feature from past stand-alone units which limits letter choice to as you type to letters that spell possible matching words from the data-base), it is relatively fast and responsive even on a 3G (except on start-up), and it has some unique features in the one touch view. My first hours of playing with the Magellan app at my desk at home were very encouraging.

Though I would not use a nav app that requires internet connection to download maps as a primary navigation tool, I figured, at the price it was a great back-up option in case whichever on-device-map app I had installed at the moment failed me.

I bought CoPilot Live 8 after one update (when they added the real iPhone keyboard for text entry and Text to Speech for street names on turns) because the price was right, and Navigon on the iPhone 3G, in that early release, had a very sluggish interface (though in all other ways it worked fine).ДЄlong the way I also downloaded XMotionвЂ™s GPS Drive, and bought a monthвЂ™s turn-by-turn voice prompts. I bought NavigonвЂ™s Mobile Navigator right after it came out, while it was still the only turn-by-turn nav app available. I already own two other on-device-maps nav apps for the iPhone.

I have to say, right up front though, that Roadmate was a disappointment.

That, plus the positive reviews the new Magellan Roadmate iPhone app is getting, and a perusal of the Magellan web site, inspired me to give it a try.
