This is one disadvantage of Apple's sandbox approach. You can't download the
voices once and have any app that supports them hook into them. So if you
have multiple apps supporting the same TTS, you may have multiple, space
consuming copies of it. If you've got Voicebrief, Read2Go, and now this,
that's a lot of space, especially on a 16GB unit.

Hi Raul and others. -- I know, replying to one self is a sign of insanity.
In any case, I also noted the size of the app is 272 mb. That means that
it's around 25% of a gb. Maybe it's because of whatever voices it uses to
speak things. I wonder which one they use. I don't remember reading which
one it was. I'd be curious how this app works out compared to free apps like
Around me, or low-cost apps like Ariadne GPS. 
I'm too cheap to fork out the cost of a large pizza to try out. So, I'll
wait to read what others have to say about it first.
