I have plenty of gadgets, so the thought of buying and carrying a separate GPS navigational device never appealed to me. Yet the thought of getting lost appealed to me even less. So I figured my problems were solved when Google came along with a phone application that offers the same spoken-aloud, turn-by-turn directions of navigational devices — all for free. I quickly learned you get what you pay for. Although Google’s app shines in a few important areas and works well for occasional travelers, frequent motorists will appreciate the extra features that come with a price.
