Just wondering will garmin actually develop a version for the iPhone. anyway,tried google maps yesterday.works fine but just not as convenient as a voice navigation software. Hopefully the google maps navigation will b available with the next update. Looks good from the online articles.

Hi, all .. I noticed some people saying that they are taking a long time to lock on to their position.. in my case, I notice this.. I am on a JB'd phone and when i turn off EDGE, it seems to take longer to lock on to my position.. i think this could be due to AGPS being turned off as well..
I'm not sure if this is because of that.. for those of you not getting a signal at all, did you guys turn off Location services?

For me, i turned my location services ON. but it still wont lock no matter how long i wait outside clear skies. Is it true that we must turn on our edge to get a signal?

Garmin got for iPhone but not GMXT like WM/nokia/sony phone... UI very ugly as the software uses IMG raw file.. i think they call it ImgOsm ... its custom made app, not official from Garmin

I am an iPod Touch 2G user which doesn't have built-in GPS chip. I purchased iGPS360 module from OrangeGadgets as well as TomTom's Malaysia/Singapore maps from iTunes.
Thus far, I'm satisfied with the external GPS performance since it is a dedicated (external) chip. It takes only seconds to get a location lock-in. Inside my office, signal is weak or doesn't exist (as expected). Under partial roof area, signals are detected which is good when driving inside the car cabin.

Just now I've installed Sygic for Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand (190MB) and have to say it is equal, if not better, than TomTom.
Will continue to play around between Sygic and TomTom.
Interesting feature on Sygic found thus far: - it has an option to enter longitude and latitude numbers (couldn't find this in TomTom), which is good since some smaller roads within my housing area is not captured in the map
Interesting feature on TomTom found thus far: - it allows route simulation in real-time, meaning after you have set your origin and destination but haven't departed yet, you can run a second-by-second simulation of the proposed route complete with all relevant POIs & intersections that you will see throughout the journey, which is pretty nice if you want to get used to the route before starting the actual journey
