5. Garmin Navigator GPS from Telstra

Cost: Free | Developer: Telstra | Tested on: iOS | Version 7.5.4 | 19.5MB

Garmin Navigator is a useful basic navigation app for users who aren’t satisfied with the iPhone’s default offering.

With features from Garmin’s nuvi personal navigators, this free app offers all the basic essentials a map app should contain. It has both driving and walking directions, Whereis maps with all its features, integrated Yellow Pages business listings, and high contrast night mode. It also works when you make or receive calls, text messages, and so on.

As it is developed by Telstra, customers of the telco face no data charges.

Users that want more features can sign up to a subscription service. The first month is free, but after that, the charges become hefty over time: $9.95 for one month, $26.95 for three, and $49.95 for six.
