Q & A

Q 1. Even i had downloaded the map from XGPS manager and transfer to phone.. Is that mean i still need at least EDGE/3G/GPRS if i use in the car?

A 1. The answer is YES and NO. See what u want to use the XGPS for..Let say u have downloaded an offline map of the entire PG island.Then u use it to search for location(eg Komtar).This type of search does not need data access as it can locate it from the offline map.
If u want to use it as GPS driving navigation.It need GPRS/WIFI data access to compute/plot out the direction.THEN,after that is will use the offline map(no GPRS/3G/EDGE) to navigate u to the destination. GPRS/3G/EDGE is needed again IF U R turning the wrong way.This causes XGPS to auto recompute new route.

XGPS 1.2- FIRST iphone VOICE turn by turn GPS navigation (http://xgpsdev.xwaves.net/)

Guys.. xGPS1.2 will Turn your iPhone into a True GPS device with Turn-By-Turn Voice Navigation released in Cydia.. Watch the release Video.. The result is impressive ! I am sure many will happy about this..

xGPS v1.2 has the following new features:

* A first beta version of voice navigation in English is now implemented and the speech engine does a pretty good job of pronouncing the directions (see the first video above). It will need some future tweaks to correctly pronounce abbreviations (like Rd, Blvd, Pkwy, N, E, S W, slashes, etc), but other than that it does a very good job.
* GPS coordinates are now accessible under the GPS settings menu.
* A Night Mode view is now available under the User Interface settings menu. Night Mode can either be manually enabled or automatically through a timer from 8pm through 7am. The timer is currently fixed, but will be fully customizable in a future release.
* You can also have your iPhone/iPod play music at the same time when using the xGPS application. The voice directions will be played through the music (see the second video above). It would be nice to have the music fade in/out when there is a voice direction.
