I don't remember how much more per month we pay for the service, but it is worth it. We live in a little pocket where we will never have good coverage. We also have all of our relatives with AAT and T service authorized to call from our house. You can register up to ten users. The coverage is

Remember, the advantage of Navigon over other apps is that the maps reside on the phone. You do not need an internet connection. This is important if you live in an area with spotty cell phone coverage. Tom vermont...@gmail.com On Jan 7, 2013, at 8:44 AM, Craig Werner wrote: Greetings to
