BEST DASHBOARD NAVIGATION
SYSTEM NAVDY
Regardless of how they’re marketed,
dashboard smartphone mounts are still
dangerous as they draw your eyes off
the road. Instead, pair Navdy with
your phone, slide it onto your
dash and you’ve got a heads-up display
with turn-by-turn directions,
call and text notifications,
and intuitive swipe gestures.
