Sat Nav / iPhone App

My sat nav is pretty much broken, and even if it does work, it's pretty old.

I don't really want to buy a new one as I rarely go places where I need one. But I'm going to Butlins next month and don't really know the way there.

I have an iPhone and my brother says there is an app I can use. But will it actually tell me where to go while I am driving, so that I don't have to continually look at it type of thing.

Sounds great, but if it does exist, people just wouldn't bother buying sat navs any more, would they?

    I have found Navfree pretty good and it does give spoken directions, no problem.......

    Not everyone has an iphone and there are people who still want standalone units :D But for those with iphones, which cost around £400 new, (even if it was "free" on a tariff plan.......there is still the cost of the phone to factor in in the first place! )you do have the ability to use a free app for satnav instead :beer:
