Check of TomTom cradle is compatible with ios5. It wasn't in January and
drained phone battery as a result. It was also very inaccurate around areas
north of Perth, such as Swan Valley.

Good morning WA Muggers
It has been awhile since I last asked the list, on account I am presently
rolling around in the southern ocean, and after nearly 5 weeks am really really
looking forward to Terra Firma under my feet!!
I am disembarking the ship in Geelong and plan to hire a car to see
Hi Chris,
I use mine for this sort of thing all the time.
You'll need some sort of hands free device so the phone is not in the drivers
hand.
The hired GPS will probably talk to you and give turn by turn directions. Go
for that if it's what you prefer. They work well and aren't hard to use.
Hi Chris,
Ah my home City Melbourne ;-)
As Paul has mentioned, the GPS is extremely fast and accurate on the iPhone 4S.
Just type Melbourne Airport or Tullamarine Airport Melbourne into search in
Maps and it will quickly pinpoint where it is, then you click directions, then
route … then Start
Hi Chris
Another thing to consider (though a bit dearer), if you were going to pay
$15/day for a GPS for the car, would be to look at the TomTom Australia App for
iPhone/iPad.
It's $75, so may work out dearer,...but then you own it for other trips.
Here's the vic police line on what they will and won't bust you for as far as
phones in the car go.

TomTom is great but if you hardly ever use it you could try one of the
following (both turn by turn like TomTom)
Navfree GPS

This is free and is pretty good.

I've not tired it, but know a few that have it, so mileage may vary,... :o)
Sounds like TomTom for iPhone may not be as good as it's stand alone
brother,...lol.
Plenty of Car Navigation in iTunes from what I can see on my phone,..so may
be some
Don't quickly pass over the standard 'Maps' app that comes with the iPhone.
Like others have said, its quick, easy free and works great when you have 3G,
but is not voice turn by turn.
I've heard Melbourne is quite an advanced city, they use street signs too :-)
Use the 'Maps' app to give
Yep, that's all I use even, around Perth. It's works really well.
It works great when I book a new Appointment for a new client, as long as in
iCal I write the address in the Location field (and their phone numbers in
the Note field).
From Calendar I can simply open it up, see the appointment
Hi Chris,
I use the app Metroview on my 4s and find it excellent
It's an Australian app and has been written very well. At $15 it represents
just 1 day's hire, for something that you will have forever.
