Shield for GPS Navigation?

[Edwii]

I have older standalone gps devices that work ok, but I would like to run a gps app on my android, and being that it only has WIFI I was wondering two things.
1. Does the Shield have a reliable enough antenna for GPS Navigation?
2. Which is the best "off line" GPS app to use for Canada/USA? (I was thinking of using TomTom, as it is on sale?)

1. It seems more than adequate to use for GPS navigation. Mine personally seems to take up to a few minutes to find enough satellites but other people reported really good GPS usage.
2. If the Tomtom is as good as it is on iOS then it should be good enough for offline navigation. I used Tomtom on iOS with a XGPS300 with my ipod touch which obviously didn't have data either and it gave me usually good directions. Although after getting a hotspot I've since used Waze on my ipod touch and sometimes my Shield and it works well on both.

The best offline GPS Android app for Canada/USA is Copilot. Fast satellite lock and fast rerouting.
Its visually appealing and is very easy to navigate the menus compared to TomTom.

I have Sycig, for Europe and it works flawlessly. You can install it from the store.
I made 1300 KM with it and worked great. Had no problem.
I am so glad I have the shield!!

For usa you can get GoPilot or IGO, for Europe definitly Igo, also Route 66 is nice , Sygic too.
