personally, i prefer iGo. Sygic is good but when roaming it is a pain as it keeps asking for a connection.
Of course it's asking for a connection, it has anything igo has plus some more features like Google Local Search who needs an Internet connection. You can use them or not, your choice.
If you think that missing features are a bonus you should buy a iPhone, the only platform where people are happy if their phones can't do things that other phones can do and are even grateful for it.

Consider that myname70 may be living in a country where iGo's map providers are good and the others worthless. Which is the situation I am in, for example.
As for compatibility with SIII, as far as I know iGo does not use the whole screen on 1280x720 or 800 resolutions yet. I don't understand what the hell they are thinking honestly. Why would you not sell your software on the android market and support it properly? Why force people to pirate it, since that is currently the only way I can have it on my phone? It's sheer idiocy.

Mine never does that, but I have disabled the setting "automatically connect", maybe that's the reason? I've used both iGo and Sygic and Sygic really does it a lot better for me.

it's not even close to igo, hundreds of small streets Sygic can't see them, Igo has the best maps atm after google.

iGO is the best IMHO too, but like the OP said (and another guy), 1280x720 is not currently supported, and honestly I don't know if it ever will be as it seems that the development has stopped... in the meantime I recommend Navigon.
I will try CoPilot now...
But from previous experiences for part where i live(Serbia), only iGo had maps that were usable. Will post how it works around here.

Going from an i4 to this is a nice change, but I am wondering if there is a reason for most of the well known apps being sh*t ? :/ eg facebook and ebay...
Or am I the only one who thinks this? :/

Seriously? One or two apps (Btw I see no problem with the Facebook app) aren't as fancy and you're moving to a completely different platform? Seems a little fickle.

I agree the ebay app is worse than the one on iOS but the facebook for android is not that bad. It's a lot faster than the one on iOS(which is worse and worse every update)..
But a lot of apps are still much better on iOS than android. I wonder why it is not possible on android...
what problems are you having with the official ebay app? Or is it cosmetics? What doesnt it do for you?
Agree with op that eBay app is definately worse than the iOS version but its just one fking app, get over it
Facebook app on android is terrible esp compared to ios same for ebay. Id happily pay for both apps if they were even close to the ios version, they do the job end of day which is nice to still have these.

I'm coming from the Evo 3d. The S2 came out a little while after the 3d did so i was already stuck. I wasn't disappointed because i loved my 3vo. It was a great phone. Dual core and all. The screen on this new phone is just insane though. Watching 1080p movies and the way the colors just pop is unlike any mobile screen i've seen. I love the NFC too and how you can link nfc stickers to tasker profiles. i know you could do this with the s2 as well but its new to me. Theres just a bunch of little things ya know?
Guys,anyone using NFC around europe?
What are the services accepting our GNEX?
I hope to start a useful collection thread.
Well, at least in Germany and as far as I know there are no payment services available.

I think you can use NFC to get Train Tickets. At least i always see these "put-your-phone-here-to-get-tickets-thingys" at the Stations.
Never used it though.

QR-code based. And you need to have an account on bahn.de, with credit card information stored.
(bahn.de (German))
QR is on your phone but to get the Ticket you use NFC

Didn't knew that. I'll definitely have to try that sometime.
You have to have an account though and ad your adress and paying method and all that. I always pay cash for tickets so i don't use it.
Basically you have to use the touchpoint on the trainstation where you start and finish and it generates the prize i guess. Ticket Inspectors scan the QR code on your phone to check the ticket.
Problem is when your battery runs out you are out of luck.
Now before I get flamed for the post. I put a lot of thought into it and am not sure of the appropiate thread for this. None the less it had me dying so I figured sharing it's worth the risk.

That was great. I showed it to an apple guy that sits next to me at work. He tried to say, "well it's a new service." I quickly let him know that doesn't matter it sucks. They should have never released that. He didn't have much to say after that.

A friend of mine was visiting today, his wife had the new iPhone, they needed to leave to the train station to pick up a fried, I Google voice searched it and mapped it on my Android...good to go. I Siri searched the exact same thing and it routed them to a completely different Amtrak train station 20 miles away, awesome. It gave three Amtrak stations, none were the correct station.
The GPS on the S3 is very,very good since it utilizes GLONASS technology. How's the GPS on the Note 2 perform? Screenshots if you please!

For me practically instant. I'm in london uk. Superb. Slightly faster than my s3
Works like a charm much faster and accurate compared to my i9000
Yep, it finds you within a couple of seconds instead of minutes as it usually is without GLONASS and the accuracy, well it pinpointed my location to within 4 meters which i think is pretty good.

I had literally just gotten the phone and it was the first time I used GPS.
Coming from a G2, so I may be out of touch, but this thing gets a lock within seconds on the 2nd floor of a twelve storey building. Is this just standard now?

I wonder how many of these results that are "off" are a result of A-GPS (using wireless towers to triangulate your position (before your phone gets GPS/GLOSNAS lock)
