My go to is Waze as it gives better live traffic reports, police, potholes etc and it is also owned by Google.
I tried the Free 12 months TomTom app but stopped as it wasn't very good compared to the others atleast in my experience."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51714227","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"User552850"},"datePublished":"2023-12-10T22:19:52.000Z","text":"Waze hands down.

If not personally I'd be trying to dissuade a new driver from using a phone in the car for SatNav (even if mounted properly) as the temptation to use apps they shouldn't while driving is for many people just too great.....
Cue the hate but I think handheld mobiles should be out of sight in all vehicles....I know most people will disagree with this though."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51717871","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"RoosterNo1"},"datePublished":"2023-12-11T12:40:13.000Z","text":"Both Waze and Google maps use the same data (they are both owned by Google ! ) So it's a matter of preference, I prefer Waze .
If your car supports android auto or apple play all the better... But I've spent years using a phone as a satnav with it on a mount.
Most cars now come with inbuilt satnavs, but I still use Waze as it's using live data and routes you around traffic jams etc (as does Google maps)
Try a few, see which you like...they are free."}],"commentCount":28,"interactionStatistic":16,"articleSection":"Ask"}
