Just wondering what Motoring related apps people may be using?

I've been trying out one for a while now called "road trip lite" (the free version) and it seems pretty good for working out mpg and cost per mile.

Anyone else got any apps they love/hate?

I'm thinking about getting Co-Pilot (a Sat Nav app). Has anyone else used it?

ive got the tom tom app, at first i regretted fully payin for the app, but since the update the apps been very useful!
very accurate and gps is more stable.
i was even shocked one week when i was on a drive to alston with a few mates and it even alerted me about a speed camera was very impressed and thought maybes this app is useful after all.

I've not used any of the satnav apps yet. I imagine I'll invest in one at some point though, maybe when I the 4th iPhone is out. (can't be too long now)

I've always liked the stand alone tomtoms but the price for the app seems crazy expensive. Especially if you get the cradle as well.

I had co-pilot on a previous phone a few years back and it seemed prerty good, can't comment on the iPhone version though.

Co-pilot on the Iphone 3GS is really quite good - not had too many issues with it and it was much cheaper than TOMTOM.

It does go through the battery quite quickly, but that is the Iphone, rather than the software!

United-Kingdom Co Pilot

Used Tom Tom in the past in another car - co pilot is just as good - also has speed camera and is much cheaper - and works without a cradle (magnet on mirror) but OMG does eat the battery!

Thanks to your recommendations, I downloaded Co-Pilot at the weekend. Initial feedback is excellent - took a trip from South-West London to East London and it worked perfectly. Just need to work out which mount to get now....
