i believe iPhone3G and iPhone3GS both got A-GPS chip utilising satellite, alongside cellular and wifi signal. the assisted part is for faster lock when location-aware app is launched, before the satellites can give the exact location. so nope, iPhone 3G and 3GS can also get its location via GPS satellite. the one that doesn't have that feature is the original iPhone (can only determine its location via cellular and wifi signals)

btw, some GPS makers such as TomTom also already made their own GPS cradle to be used with iPhone 3G & iPhone 3GS, also can be used with iPod Touch. it features GPS chip built into the cradle that can improve the GPS signal receiving.

Suddenly that app becomes chart topper!

But do take note, the infos in the app can be somewhat incomplete.

Using Waze should also being beneficial to the new iOS Maps, since they also provide data for Apple's own mapping service.

Well, in other parts of the world, Sygic includes speed cameras just fine. They even put there "Speed Camera Warnings for Speedy Gonzales" on its App Store page (like they're encouraging people to!). It's similarly made like speed limit notification so they'll sound an audible to warn driver. Maybe we'll see this on its update, since most other navigation apps are also getting obsolete in terms of its database.



Errr...really? So no hopes then for people who are putting MFM maps on their JBed device?
