Outdoor Navigation For Android is an all-in-one navigation assistance suite for Windows Mobile, iOS, Windows Phone 7 and now, for Android as well. And as per the convention of most other multiplatform apps, only Outdoor Navigation’s Android variant has a limited, ad-supported free version (and not just a trial, as for the WP7 variant) in addition to a paid full version. What remains constant across all supported platforms is the app’s attractive interface and the vast assortment of navigation assistance, tracking, monitoring and analysis tools that it comes packed with. More after the break.In addition to being easy on the eyes, the interface seems well though out. Even with all the features that the app has to offer, one finds it hard to get lost or confused.
The app allows navigation through online street and satellite Google Maps. To find a route to a location of your choice, select Map form the app’s homes screen, hit Menu, tap Search and enter its name into the search box that appears at the bottom of the screen. The app adds a marker for the place on the map once it is located. Tap the marker and the app calculates a route for you based on the Routing Type selected from within Settings > Routing.
The map interface displays your current latitude–longitude (geographic coordinates), speed, altitude, ETE (Estimated Time Enroute) and distance to destination beside the compass in the top left corner of the screen.
