If we are faithful to the Apple world and we use the iPhone daily as a smartphone, we already know that if we need a map or a navigator we can count on Apple Maps, which although graphically consistent with the Apple environment is certainly not one of the first choices on to aim for the best driving directions or to check the map of a city or a place to reach. In this case the Apple App Store comes to our aid, they present several very valid alternatives to Apple Maps that we can use as a navigator on our iPhone.
We find in this guide the best GPS navigators for iPhone that we can install; we will present both the free and paid apps of the map providers for classic navigators.

As anticipated, we will show you the main GPS navigators for iPhone useful for reaching a specific destination in the city or for traveling on roads and highways that we do not know. Since there are plenty of apps on the iPhone, we will point out both completely free apps and apps that offer a free trial period (both in kilometers to travel and in days with which to take advantage of the premium license without limits), so as to be convinced and if you are happy to purchase a user license or a subscription for higher quality services (even if the free apps are more than enough for standard navigation).
1) Google Maps
The first browser that we recommend trying on an iPhone is Google Maps, which can be downloaded for free from here -> Google Maps for iPhone .
With this app we will be able to get maps and directions to any place or city to reach, with real-time traffic updates and the ability to download offline maps to be able to navigate even without an Internet line. The app is unbeatable in reporting points of interest with lots of information retrieved through feedback and reviews on Google as well as offering routes and routes even for those who move by public transport, on foot or by motorbike.
2) Waze
Another valid GPS navigator to use on the iPhone is Waze, downloadable for free from here -> Waze .
With this app we will be able to obtain real-time information on traffic, accidents and the presence of speed cameras along the route, complete with an acoustic signal.
Waze is able to quickly and quickly recalculate routes based on the traffic and notifications of other users who use Waze, which help to enlarge the map and report both points of interest and any signs along the way. Excellent functionality with which to add the ZTL permit, so as to insert the routes in the limited traffic areas within the urban route. It only works if connected to the Internet, so better be prepared for it.
3) Here WeGo
Among the best browsers that we can try on an iPhone there is certainly Here WeGo, downloadable for free from here -> Here WeGo .
The app offers precise indications for any city or nation we want to reach, with an eye to the indications for those who travel often on foot or by public transport (one of the most precise in this sense). Here WeGo offers the possibility to download maps of entire states or continents for free on the iPhone, so that you can also browse without an Internet connection.
4) TomTom Go
One of the most complete iPhone apps for GPS navigation is TomTom Go, available as a free trial from here -> TomTom Go .
The maps and directions are identical to those provided with the famous car satellite navigators, with the updating of maps and points of interest via Internet connection. The app is available for free for trial use: we can take advantage of 75 free kilometers every month; in order to unlock all the features we will need to purchase a subscription.
5) Sygic GPS Navigator
Another effective GPS navigator for iPhone is Sygic GPS Navigator, downloadable for a free trial from here -> Sygic GPS Navigator .
Among its strengths we find detailed 3D maps, speed cameras and interactive checkpoint reporting, the augmented reality (Real View) guide system and constantly updated maps. The app is available for free for 7 days, after this trial period you need to purchase a license to continue using it.
6) GPS CoPilot
Among the most convincing free trial surfers for iPhone there is also CoPilot GPS, available from here -> CoPilot GPS .
The app combines offline maps with data recovered through an Internet connection to always find the best route for each destination, also showing various alternatives to the most popular and discounted routes so as to save time. The virtualization system of the outgoing roads and the interchanges is excellent, so that you can always guess well in advance where to channel yourself to exit a highway or a canalized intersection. The app is available for free without limits for 7 days, after which it is necessary to purchase a license to continue using it.
7) NavMii GPS Italia
Another app that we want to recommend for GPS navigation on the iPhone is NavMii GPS Italia, available for free without limits from here -> NavMii GPS Italia .
The app is very similar to Waze in terms of functionality, since it offers precise and detailed indications on traffic and points of attention also thanks to the reports of other users who use the app; in spite of Waze, however, it is possible to download offline maps without limits, so that you can use the navigation features even without connecting to the Internet (if we go abroad for example).
Maps are provided by the free and open source service OpenStreetMap, so the app can be used without limits and without paying for subscriptions.
