Fills it's Role This app works. Needs an update to the positioning screen which is designed for the old UI. A snapping feature would also be nice. TBH though Google should just include this as a basic feature in Navigation. Sometimes closes slowly which is annoying but not the biggest deal. Please add this as a feature to Nav Google.

BEST Speed for Google Nav The fact that this app starts and stops itself is what makes it a winner and the best in the market if you use Google navigation. Works perfectly on my SGS2 Skyrocket. A defense 5 star app!!

Simply amazing Best app I have... I use an old outdated gps for a speedo that my wife won't let me upgrade for new maps and Google maps is always being updated and free plus the navigator and this app... It makes Google nav the greatest gps navigation system in the world!!! I love this app. However, I would add an optional snap grid to the position adjustments. That way you could place it directly beside the in app elements quickly. Also, the background for positioning does not represent current navigation layout.

Integrates nicely with nav. Excellent little add on. Wish google had put one in. Always missed it when I retired my nuvi.
