Best Navigation App for S3

[Acudoc]

What is the best turn-by-turn navigation app for the S3. It's be great to hear your experience with it.
Thanks.

Maps is still pretty good - but you might want to install MyDirections to make it easier to use. Using just maps bare means that finding a location (in the app, not driving to it) you've been to might be difficult because they're all in order of when you last went to them. MyDirections is like Contacts - it's in alphabetical order. Pick a location by name, navigate to it and it runs Maps with the proper destination.

Why not Google Maps? (I don't yet own an S3, but I'm also curious). I prefer Google Maps over HERE on my phone, so I'd expect it to be better on the watch as well.

Besides, if you turn on Google Maps on your phone and are wearing you're S3, wouldn't it just automatically give you turn by turn distractions on your wrist? That seems like it'd make the most sense.

Pretty simple really. Why would Google allow Google Maps to be integrated on Tizen when it has its own wearable OS?
Also Samsung love to be different!

Here We go works fine.

Thanks. I bought Gear Navigator. Haven't tried it out yet.

I recommend Gear Navigator as well. I tried Here Wego first since it's the "free" native nav app. In 3 days of testing with 12-15 trips it froze up every 2 miles at the most.

As it's only a navigation app and not a mapping app, you can only search for a location in sequence and only explore the map while "navigating". The only drawback to Gear Navigator that I've found is minor: it only works within a 100 km (62 m) range. I've almost switched my navigation needs completely to my watch at this point though I still use the phone when I actually need to see a map or explore a location.

If you have an LTE version of the S3 and a cellular connection, you may want Gear Navigator S as it works completely independent of the phone.
