I like the navfree, nice app. I routinely use my android phone for traffic in the car using an app called waze. It allows folks to update the map with hazards such as stopped cars, police, and dead animals. It's free on both android and iphone. Now I have a dedicated gps but I am seriously looking to mount my phone and see how it does. It is already my music player since my ipod was stolen. I recently got a new phone through work and it is a Galaxy III. Nice big screen so I think it will do mounted on the bars.

I've been using Waze for the past couple of days. Not as a GPS, more as an early warning system. I open the app, toss the phone in my tank bag and forget about it until it says something.
The info is crowd sourced. It's only as good as the Waze community in the area you're traveling in but its been working pretty well for me so far. It probably saved me a ticket on my evening commute yesterday.

That's mostly what I use it for too. I have the navigation on only to see my estimated time of arrival and speed but for the most part it is good. Although I did use the navfree app today both to and from work. I like it. a bit sluggish on my phone but I just may need to reboot.
