It works like you would not beleive. Well, with TOM TOM 7 and live search.

I did start experimenting today with OCN2008 and noted that ti loagged about maybe 100 feet behind at some points....

But the other two apps are solid.

But I guess if that you consider the fact I never used OCN2008 before and not sure what its initial lag looks like then.... Yeah... I still think I have no lag at all.

I wonder if I can make a video for this somewho? Maybe I di have lag and dont realize it? But man, I never had such accuracy before.... Vouge was always way off, titan was good. this thing is great.

Anways, if you can help me quantify what I see that owuld be cool. I want to know if this lag is perceptual or not for me. BUt for now I see no lag at all. And that was on three of them....
Just a point of reference here:

I use OCN8.

With external BTooth receiver no lag in distance/time. Virtually Zero.

With built in GPS (VZW w/Bored fix) 4-5 sec lag in distance/time

So it's def not the software IMHO.

VZW TP & OCN8 works well enough that I get plenty of notice before a turn. OCN8 reminds you well before a turn (almost annoying incessant chatter!) It's when I miss my turn that it takes about a block before it realizes it. This doesn't happen with ext GPS.

Still gotta say I still use Bored's fix over the external. It works good enough to get where I'm going. Just don't miss a turn or you'll have to go an extra block.
