Re: what's the best GPS app?
 

The maps were Garmin's most up to date maps. So that means, like all map data (most places use navteq, I believe), its about 1-2 years old. But the system also came with internet access for info from google maps, flight info, weather, gas prices, etc.

Looking for the same store on ebay, but it doesn't look like they're selling them anymore. I guess I lucked out. Maybe set up a search to email you when the item pops up again.

There were a few people selling when i was looking. This is a different seller, but it looks like the same product.
Don't forget Bing Cashback!

Check smartphone magazine online. Under a year ago I'd say they did a review on all the GPS apps. Start there and then make a decision.

I tried to google for the article and was unsuccessful, I didn't try too hard though.

If you check their annual best software awards (currently only at 2008 since 2009 isn't over yet) you can find best GPS software and they divide it by voice guidance apps and non-voice guidance, etc.

I think a lot more voice guided gps apps are available now though.

Re: what's the best GPS app?
 

I used the following softwares

1) I guidance
2) Tomtom
3) Garming GT

I had tons of lag wth tomtom. Its almost 3 to 5 seconds delay with tomtom.
garmin GT was the worst, it just freezes some times and takes forever to recalculate the routes.

So far I liked the Iguidnance eve though the 3d view is not that great.

Its all on Imagio

Hope it helps

I ended up purchasing this one from eBay, and I'm glad I did. The seller communicated well and he's been very accommodating, especially with help making sure my phone was configured correctly for the GPS app.

I love it! Finally - a phone that allows me to do everything I need in the MS world (CRM, email, etc.), and gives me a useful GPS for just a handful of shekels...

I love this place! :cheers:
