Yup, about time Garmin came into the iphone scene, will make PPG shiver in their spine. Only hope when garmin becomes available, the price would be competitive.

QUOTE(Mr. Taiga @ Oct 27 2010, 09:04 PM) Indeed, Malfreemaps and the custom POIs are what makes Garmin that good. I read that the Garmin app could be free, which is a bit odd. Free? Highly unlikely. I don't think garmin is that generous. I'm predicting the price to be around USD50++ just like others. Do remember though, Garmin does not collaborate with Mfm, their official map provider in Malaysia is MSM. it might be a good thing as it should lower the price. |

IPhone 4 should have gps chipsets in the phone. Why can't we locate the satellite without 3G or wifi?

No, basically no data connection is needed as its solely dependable on the gps chipset in d phone.
3g/wifi is only required to reveal ur position asap. In other words, tomtom papago etc. Doesnt require data plan to work |
