Can you get a sat nav that does this...

I don't mean to !!!! on anyones bonfire here, but the best Sat Nav software (imo) still hasn't been mentioned.
It's called iGo. There is two versions, iGo8 and iGo Primo. Both have standout features because they're not really designed for the same audience, but most importantly, they're way beyond Garmin, TomTom, not only in the functionality, but the graphics and portability department too.
I have an in-car entertainment system in m dash that comes with both iGo8 and iGo Primo and they're truly brilliant. It not only tells you what side of the road your destination is on but it gives you road numbers, and even announces when traffic is busy. It's brilliant, in so many ways. I currently use iGo Primo which is tailored more towards the average car user. iGo8 is very professional, designed for taxi drivers, and truck drivers etc, but of course can be used on the road too! Primo is a bit more informal and welcoming.
The fact it's also ultra portable means it's widely available too! You can get iGo Primo on Android, iOS or a car head unit like mine. I have to say, I've used both and while the Android version is a little bit faster (due to my phone being a Nexus 4) I just prefer using it on my head unit. It's nicer to use and experience
Also the routing of iGo is widely regarded as up there with the best!!0 -
The tom-tom app i have on my iPhone allows you to select a point on a map. It also has a google search function for somewhere not listed in its places of interest lists.
try the settings to see if you have everything available0
