Our Review:

TripTik is AAA's entry into the navigation / GPS app market.

In terms of routing it's pretty straight forward.  You enter your starting point (which can be either your current location or an address) and an ending point.  TripTik then find the path to your destination.  Generating your path is accurate and fast.

As you start your trip, the complete directions are announced.   While traveling along the path, your current location, as you'd expect, is updated.   When it comes time to turn, however, TripTik doesn't announce that a turn is approaching. Likewise, after you make the turn, TripTik doesn't announce the distance until the next turn.   To make it announce the rest of the trip you must push the copilot button or shake the phone.

While testing the app, there were several times when my location would suddenly move to a different road only to return to the correct location in the next second.  I think this may have been due to poor GPS accuracy in the phone, but it may prove to be an issue if you are in an unfamiliar area.

Besides not having turn by turn announcements, TripTik is missing other features found in most stand alone GPS devices. Things like detour mapping, or choosing if you want to use highways, non-highways, or both.

Exploring the maps works as you'd expect--swiping, pinching, etc are app supported and update quickly.

TripTik has quite a large database of points of interest--gas stations, restaurants, hotels, etc. Which could be very handy especially if you are in an unfamiliar place.

For free, TripTik is good replacement for the maps app built into the phone,  but it's lacking many features built into my old GPS, so i think i'll keep that one around a bit longer.

Developer's Notes

Quick Take

Value: Medium

Would I Buy Again: I might be it again--it's handy to have but not really ready for 'every day' use.

Learning Curve: Low; although getting used to shaking the phone to get updated directions took som time.

Who Is It For: People that need a GPS in a pinch (ex: traveling)

What I Like: It works well and is responsive

What I Don't: No turn-by-turn directions, missing features that my (older) standalone GPS has

Final Statement: This app is better than the built in 'map' program on the iPhone, but not THAT much better (unless you like Points of Interest databases as well). Missing Turn by Turn announcements really hurts this app.

Developer's Notes:

NOW WITH MASAJID ( MOSQUES ) OF THE WORLD!

Now you can not only find the precise direction of Qibla, but also you can find the nearest mosque or place suitable for prayers, on the map.
And there is more to that: you can easily add new mosques, so if you are at a mosque that is not already marked on the map, or you find a nice place to pray, in a non-Muslim country, you can mark the place right when you are there with just a touch on the screen, and share it with fellow Muslim users; in future any Muslim worshiper who is there will benefit from your contribution. As another way to improve the system you can rate existing mosque so others know more about the place.

Shows Qibla direction using built-in compass and GPS.

Also displays your current location and Qibla direction on the map.

(Our "Qibla & Prayer Times" application also displays Prayer Times, Moon Phase and Hijri Date)
(Compass is only available on iPhone 3Gs)

الآن يمكنك أن تجد أقرب مسجد أو مكان مناسب للصلاة.

هذا البرنامج يبين اتجاه القبلة باستخدام البوصلة و جي بي اس

و يعرض الموقع الحالي ، و اتجاه القبلة على الخريطة.

(بوصلة يتوفر فقط على اي فون ثري جي اس)

Je suis Trafic Xpress, la première application planète-friendly :
Avec moi, roulez tranquille et green !
Alors ? Adoptez-moi !

*Comment je marche ?
Simplifiez vos déplacements en voiture & planifiez vos trajets :
Etat du trafic sur votre chemin, bouchons, incidents, radars... la route n’a plus de secret pour vous et c'est gratuit !
En plus, en choisissant l’option payante, vous parrainez un arbre pour la planète !

Je vous permets :
- De consulter gratuitement l’état du trafic et les bouchons en temps réel sur votre iPhone partout en France, de l’endroit où vous vous trouvez ou de tout autre point en France qui vous concerne.
L’information dispensée bénéficie d’un vrai label de qualité grâce aux flux exclusifs du GIE des Autoroutes de France : Autoroute Trafic, mon partenaire, ainsi que Bison futé pour les prévisions. Estimez vos temps de parcours et trouvez les meilleurs itinéraires : Ca c’est mon petit côté pratique.

- D’entrer dans une démarche active de contribution à la sauvegarde de votre environnement.
On se sent tous responsables de ce qui arrive à notre belle planète et parfois on ne sait pas comment agir.
En tant que première application iPhone citoyenne, je vous propose donc d’être actifs tous ensemble et de nous aider à construire un monde plus vert. Parce qu’apporter sa pierre à l’édifice, même toute petite, ça compte & encore plus quand on est nombreux à agir !
En choisissant donc mon option pro [4,99€], vous participerez ainsi à la préservation du patrimoine forestier :
1€ sur votre souscription sert en effet à replanter un arbre avec l’association Planète urgence www.planete-urgence.org.
Ca c’est mon côté écolo !

Vous êtes serein au volant, toujours à l’heure et en plus c’est bon pour la planète !

1/ Mes petits + gratuits :
. 63 cartes complètes de la France en consultation en direct
. Les infos bouchons
. Les alertes incidents de la communauté :
grâce à moi on peut alerter les autres conducteurs m’utilisant en temps réel si on entre dans un bouchon, du coup vous aussi vous aurez l’info sur votre parcours en « direct live » !
. Les radars
. La météo des routes, pour avoir la pluie et le beau temps sur votre chemin
. Le calcul de votre taux d’émission de CO2

2/ Mais j’ai aussi une option pro [4,99€] disponible à partir de ma version gratuite, débloquant :
. Le calcul du temps de parcours (avec un temps calculé « porte à porte » sur Paris et bientôt Lyon, Bordeaux et plein d'autres villes)
. Le programme « Je parraine un arbre » avec la complicité de Planète Urgence.
. Les derniers flash radio
. Le calendrier prévisionnel officiel de Bison Futé

Consultez-moi régulièrement, je vais grandir au fil du temps et vous proposer plein d’autres options sympas !

Il est rappelé que l’utilisation d’un téléphone au volant est une attitude dangereuse et strictement interdite.
