When traveling to a game or to a meeting with a potential college coach, the last thing you want to do is be late. You could let your team down or make a bad impression on a future coach.
To avoid a wrong turn and make sure you arrive in time, use a convenient navigation app to get to your destination.
VZ Navigator, AT&T Navigator, Sprint Navigation
Price: $9.99 per month
Features: Cell phone companies offer their proprietary Internet navigation apps for a monthly fee. These apps can be used on various phones, activated only when needed—avoiding the cost of other navigation apps. The downside is that they rely on an Internet connection to function. Make sure to have backup directions in areas with poor cell service.
Google Maps Navigation (Android)

Features: Calculates multiple options to give you different routes. It also syncs to your contact list, so you can easily pull up stored addresses; and it provides an exit and signage preview to ensure that you don’t miss your turn off the highway.
