Re: Haus Intrepid Tips and Tricks

Actually IIRC the Touch Pro had a "drive to..." option through Sprint Nav/contacts, though in my case I tend to know where my contacts live so I don't think I ever used it. Maybe once. With TeleNAV when possible I just add the address to the Telenav web site on my PC and then sync it to the phone when I get in the car (or beforehand, as occasionally I've had it fail to work).

I understand the frustration there...a drive to option can be a useful feature but I would tend to agree with Telenav that Sprint/Samsung bungled the integration, or HTC spent more time on it. This wouldn't surprise me in the least.

Maybe something like iGuidance is an option. That's the only other GPS app I've ever used, and I think it might have contact integration but I'd find a way to verify that before spending any money on it because it's not a cheap program.

Edit: the benefit to a program like iGuidance is that it stores maps locally, so you don't need a network connection to Sprint to use it. Just GPS alone is good enough. So if you are truly driving in a remote area (let's say your friend's address is in Joshua Tree Nat'l Park) you won't get lost.
