New Tablet Owner with a Navigation Question

[tmf2004]

Hey newbie here with my first Tablet. Dropad 7'' A8T w/Android 2.3... Been looking into setting up the tablet for GPS.. I understand that i need a GPS receiver which i found and the Bluettoth provider app... My question is the Market seems limited for navigation apps. I found a app called NavFree, and was told to look into Locus Free,Sygic, or Ndrive.. Youtube was pretty helpful as someone had been doing the same thing.

Which ones can u guys recommend. BTW i can't locate iGO in the market.. Don't think i have it.

Is there a place on the internet where i can download Apps from?

Thanks in advance..

Hi, and welcome to the Android tablet world and the forum. I can't help you much with the GPS question except to say that I heard about both of the apps you mentioned and they both sound like they would be pretty good.

As far as alternate App markets, did you happen to see this Post by wicked?

I purchased Sygic.

The software is pretty good for $20 and the maps are provided by Tom-tom I have heard.

Personally, I experienced very frustrating start up and then transfer of my subscription to a replacement tablet. Their support staff is quite cryptic as are their administrative instructions.

But, since my Vizio has a GPS and my Garmin is now 7 years old, I am now using the software in my motorhome travels. I have downloaded only the state maps that I need for a trip rather than storing all the maps on my Tablet.
