by Gareth Jale


The HTC Inspire is certainly a multi-use device. However, of its many uses, one stands out as the most useful to drivers and outdoorsmen. The HTC Inspire can be used as a GPS. When using the right applications, the Inspire can be just as efficient as most handheld GPS devices and navigation systems. In fact, there are even accessories, like dashboard mounts, that help users get the most from this feature. This way, users can mount their phone to their dashboard and have it function just like a navigation system. Many of these mounts can also be used with a case for the utmost convenience.

Google Maps is the first application that any smart phone user should have. Once you become familiar with the app you will find that this program is very useful. This app will let you view 3D maps, determine your exact location, find nearby places, check-in to numerous locations, and view real-time traffic reports. You can even get spoken step-by-step directions to help you get to your destination. This app is just as good as any navigation system and possibly better. Although it will take some time to get used to the features, this is certainly a great program.

Parkdroid is also a great application that the user will want to take a look at. This is the perfect application that will help you find parking lots that are close to you. Once a user parks, they can save their exact location. If they parked at a meter, they can even time themselves so they know when their meter is about to run out. There are also walk-back directions for when you start to return to your car. Almost every driver could benefit from this app, especially when parking in busy, high-traffic areas.

There are even apps for the avid outdoorsmen. BackCountry is a very good outdoor GPS program. This app provides users with topographic maps and GPS that will help them find suitable camp sites, plan hunting trips, and scout hiking trails. It allows the user to mark their favorite spots so that they can get directions to them later. BackCountry also offers features that allow users to create their own maps of an area. This app is essential for anyone that enjoys spending their time navigating the great outdoors.

These three apps are a great start for anyone that wants to begin utilizing the HTC Inspire's GPS capabilities. The important thing about this apps is that you will be able to reach your destination safely and on time. All you will need to remember is your charger so you don't run low on battery before reaching your destination.
