Default This weekend's GPS debacle using Tour (plus GPS sport watch question)

Please Login to Remove!

I was on my way to surprise a friend at an event in San Diego this weekend.

I had not yet used GPS on the Tour but suddenly I needed it when I realized the directions I had were wrong.

I pull over, open up Apps and go into BB's Maps. It was terrible...The UI and the experience. It didn't offer directions, it didn't pinpoint where I was, and it couldn't find the location I wanted to go.

So I go to Google within the browser and download Google Maps which immediately recognized my location and found the place I wanted to go. But
it took me 15 minutes to scramble through all this technology only to resort to Google.

All that said...

What application are you guys using for directions?

What's the best GPS app that is 95% correct with directions?

Any apps give real-time traffic reports?

AND ONE MORE... Is there a BB app that acts like the Garmin and Suunto GPS Sport watches that will track my distance running/hiking?
