Apple iPhone as GPS

[Michael]

anyone using it for navigation....?

it struggles to accurately state my location with the installed google earth as it is without it having to handle extra software during a journey

Ive used mine a few times without too much hassle at all, we used it to navigate around manchester where I had no idea where we were going at all and was brilliant. And when using it to find postcodes that I had no idea where they were it usually gets me exactly to the correct point.
I guess occasionally it doesnt quite pick up your exact location, ie. it may have just to the side of a road not on it, but Ive never found it to be so far out that you cant use it to navigate correctly.

Used it with Navigon this summer in France. Was fantastic

Use the google maps app almost everyday


Used as a map/planning you really cant beat it but if its Sat- Nav you need, the tom tom app is highly recommend. Not cheap at £60ish mind you

Good stuff.... all reasurring

looking for a nice combo kit for car ...holder/charger/FM transmitter....got one from a stall today but promptly returned it as the sound quality wasnt good at all.

IIRC the copilot app is around £25.

Used it to find a curry house in the car and worked a treat

Use it cycling with mapmyride and again it works fine for "bread-crumb" mapping

I find tom tom much more acurate on my phone (HTC) than googlemaps.

Only to be expected, tom tom is a high priced dedicated sat nav
