sdhfakjs... that was one of android's most obvious/biggest wins over the iphone.

still proud of my droid, but still.]]>Mar 30th 2010 2:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/mapquest-iphone-gets-free-voice-navigation-tomtom-lifetime-map/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/mapquest-iphone-gets-free-voice-navigation-tomtom-lifetime-map/Mar 30th 2010 2:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/mapquest-iphone-gets-free-voice-navigation-tomtom-lifetime-map/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/mapquest-iphone-gets-free-voice-navigation-tomtom-lifetime-map/Mar 30th 2010 2:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/mapquest-iphone-gets-free-voice-navigation-tomtom-lifetime-map/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/mapquest-iphone-gets-free-voice-navigation-tomtom-lifetime-map/
Okay, well even if it is zoomed out and not as good as some not-free alternatives, I think it will get orders of magnitude more downloads (and be more influential in the whole iphone vs. others battle) just due to the fact that it could even sort of replace a costly navigation device/software for nothing out of pocket.]]>Mar 30th 2010 3:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/mapquest-iphone-gets-free-voice-navigation-tomtom-lifetime-map/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/mapquest-iphone-gets-free-voice-navigation-tomtom-lifetime-map/

why? i'm content and satisfied with the last 2 editions of Navigon and even the Copilot Live. Both integrate Google search for a quick address lookup. There's no further need for google except it may be useful to looking up an address with a quick streetview picture beforehand. oh, but google does give alternative links that's useful on some occasions. ]]>Mar 30th 2010 2:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/mapquest-iphone-gets-free-voice-navigation-tomtom-lifetime-map/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/mapquest-iphone-gets-free-voice-navigation-tomtom-lifetime-map/Mar 30th 2010 2:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/mapquest-iphone-gets-free-voice-navigation-tomtom-lifetime-map/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/mapquest-iphone-gets-free-voice-navigation-tomtom-lifetime-map/Mar 30th 2010 3:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/mapquest-iphone-gets-free-voice-navigation-tomtom-lifetime-map/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/mapquest-iphone-gets-free-voice-navigation-tomtom-lifetime-map/Mar 30th 2010 3:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/mapquest-iphone-gets-free-voice-navigation-tomtom-lifetime-map/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/mapquest-iphone-gets-free-voice-navigation-tomtom-lifetime-map/

Free is good. But for the iPhone, at least, google provides far too few basics for navigation assistance. Visual features are not as important to a driver for safety concerns. Audio feedback, therefore, is important. The dedicated apps are far more feature-rich, but in a helpful sort of way. POI, Live Traffic, Recalculations, Time Guidance, 3D lane assistance ( sometimes distracting unless verbally-cued), and maybe a few more I can't think of. I like dedicated GPS devices but dont mind consolidating devices into a phone if the benefits outweigh the sacrifice. Turn by Turn is free and definitely useful. But these numerous GPS apps are really worth it. You may them indispensible. Just don't overdo it with 3 separate apps like I did trying to find which one suits me the best. ]]>Mar 30th 2010 5:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/mapquest-iphone-gets-free-voice-navigation-tomtom-lifetime-map/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/mapquest-iphone-gets-free-voice-navigation-tomtom-lifetime-map/Mar 30th 2010 2:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/mapquest-iphone-gets-free-voice-navigation-tomtom-lifetime-map/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/mapquest-iphone-gets-free-voice-navigation-tomtom-lifetime-map/Mar 30th 2010 2:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/mapquest-iphone-gets-free-voice-navigation-tomtom-lifetime-map/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/mapquest-iphone-gets-free-voice-navigation-tomtom-lifetime-map/Mar 30th 2010 2:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/mapquest-iphone-gets-free-voice-navigation-tomtom-lifetime-map/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/mapquest-iphone-gets-free-voice-navigation-tomtom-lifetime-map/Mar 30th 2010 2:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/mapquest-iphone-gets-free-voice-navigation-tomtom-lifetime-map/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/mapquest-iphone-gets-free-voice-navigation-tomtom-lifetime-map/Mar 30th 2010 2:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/mapquest-iphone-gets-free-voice-navigation-tomtom-lifetime-map/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/mapquest-iphone-gets-free-voice-navigation-tomtom-lifetime-map/
Go Navigon , there's a major update today. You can even go TomTom for iphone. Copilot is pretty good but spotty performance in Chicago sometimes whereas Navigon is a very consistent performer.

I thought you were a vegetable after Chuck Norris beat you up!]]>Mar 30th 2010 11:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/mapquest-iphone-gets-free-voice-navigation-tomtom-lifetime-map/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/mapquest-iphone-gets-free-voice-navigation-tomtom-lifetime-map/Mar 30th 2010 5:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/mapquest-iphone-gets-free-voice-navigation-tomtom-lifetime-map/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/mapquest-iphone-gets-free-voice-navigation-tomtom-lifetime-map/comparing an Encyclopedia to Wikipedia. One is closed and old business model, the other gets it's content from motivated volunteers, it's fun and great technology.

Don't get me wrong, Waze has only been out for about 6 months in US, 2 years of success in Israel. Currently, Waze maps need to catch up to Mapquest maps, because the Waze maps are updated by users like you and me. But it's the other features that get you going, like crowds letting you know where the traffic jams, speed traps, construction zones are 'real time'!

Also,it's fun to just see another wazer moving down your street as you pass each other, and yes you can be anonymous if you want to be. Check them both out but I think you'll like Waze better now and love Waze a year from now.]]>Apr 8th 2010 3:21AM
