"You Need A Map" is a pretty good mapping program with high detail when drilled down. I like it to keep track of where I am, not to find where I'm going.

That's pretty much what our iPad does in the coach.


Ditto here, my iPad mounts to the front of the drivers side window. It neither blocks my view of the road or side mirror. Best of all the sound is terrific, especially when paired with my Bluetooth or wired earphones.

I've always liked Navigon because you can download the maps to your iOS device instead of relying on cell coverage to download the maps on the fly. They issue quarterly updates to their maps, so they're pretty accurate.
