Re: Is there a FREE GPS software that can do this?
By turn by turn do yall mean voice promps at turns?
If so does google maps offer this I haven't seen it?
Who does offer it for free? Livesearch?
How do I get live search?


Sorry for the barrage of questions. I had a factory navi kit in my Acura some years back, and although google maps gets the job done, I don't have audible turn by turn to help me out, and I get confused with the orientation on google maps (ie I know I need to turn but I can't figure out left or right)

TIA

none of the free apps have voice prompts available, but turn by turn on-screen directions are given. sure wish they did though... who knows maybe they'll incorporate it later.

Re: Is there a FREE GPS software that can do this?
OK, I understand. The only thing I don't like about the GoogleMaps turn by turn is that it pops at first, but to see your progress on screen you have to get out of the turn by turn directions, and I can't figure out how to toggle between the two...

I agree. I just wanted something free that I could save locations in and completely spaced that, the already superior Live, could do it. If I just name it instead of naming it GPS Location. My needs have been met. You guys are awesome.
