Mike, If you do it, please remember those of us that use the i-touch with a GPS or otherwise do not have a data plan. Hopefully there are still systems out there that downloads the maps... Many thanks, Tim On 7/25/13, Mike Arrigo n0...@charter.net wrote: Hey everyone, some of you may remember a

Some of them do store the maps locally, but use data plans for other things such as doing google and four square searches. So, these apps could be used without a data plan, but you would lose a lot of the benefit. On Jul 26, 2013, at 6:59 AM, Tim Mehok script...@gmail.com wrote: Mike, If you

Hi, It would be interesting, however keep in mind that many of the gps apps are only available in certain parts of the world, and so aren't relevant to people in those parts of the world. I'd be interested to hear a comparison of Garmin and Navigon. /Krister 25 jul 2013 kl. 16:54 skrev Mike

Thanks for the kind words. If I do this one, it would be with 5 apps, the new google maps, navigon, garmin, TomTom, and motion x GPS drive. I know mapquest is also free but the interface in this app is difficult to work with and very confusing I think. For figuring out where you are, I would

Actually Apple maps does not provide walking instructions, at least not in real time and that's what I would be focused on. All of these apps work well for driving directions, the real question is, how well would they work to assist a blind person who was trying to walk to a destination?
