Co-Pilot won the Auto Express reviews of Android navigation apps. I tried it but could not get the phones GPS to recognise it. The trusty TomTom rules supreme!

I use Sygic, got two licences for the price of one last New Year. They have offers on from time to time.
Works fine as a SatNav though sound does not play well bluetoothing through a Parrot MKi9200. Need to set it to use the phone's speaker. Depends what you're looking for.

And then it crashed the phone, good job it was only going to be a backup for the TomTom. Now uninstalled and the phone is fine.

You could try Waze. Bit unusual but those that love it love it.

There's also N drive, which I have on the iPhone. There seems to be an Android version, no idea if its free as it was when I got it, but it's not bad.

Forgot to add you can download Sygic and use it for free for a week I think it is. Try before you buy.
