App is better then company...

Someone put a lot of effort in this app - interface is great and usability is probably the best across all the apps out there. It would notify you if you forget it in background ins tead of draining battery. UI is easy to use while driving. It has one killer feature for anyone listening to podcasts and autiobooks and likes to glance at the map while driving - ability to pause audio and give only short audio signal when your turn approaches, giving you audio notice but distracting less from audio listening experience. OneTouch holds all your frequent destinations. Someone was actually driving a lot with this app, and made it easy to use on the road. That puts it head and shoulders above any other GPS app (and I tried most of other well known GPS apps in the App Store).

HOWEVER, I can’t recommend it because company is not committed to it. iOS 7 version was long in coming. Google Local Search broke, then is MIA in this version. Instead we have Yelp and FourSquare occupying screen real estate.

I wish that people who did user experience design on this app are in charge of user experiences of other GPS apps - they would be an asset. Wish I could also say something positive about management of Magellan, but frankly nothing comes to mind. Unfortunately, while in a short run UX designers provide value, in the long run future of the product is determined by quality of its management. I am not an optimist.
