It is a iPhone 3GS (I know the first version of iPhone doesn’t have a GPS chip).
Hi!

I have a iPhone 3GS and I like the look of the TomTom App. Can you tell me if the iPhone GPS chip is strong enough to get a decent signal and whether it would “compete” against the strength of a standalone Sat Nav?

Thanks…
Thanks. Would you suggest it?

Since Garmin GPS Systems have ads, does this mean you will never have to pay to download new maps a la TomTom?

I am thinking of buying the Garmin Nuvi 265T GPS system. I’ve read there are ads. With TomTom, there are no ads but expensive updates you have to download. With Garmin, do the ads underwrite the cost of downloads?

I bought the UK map for my gps (TomTom) but I wanted to make sure my car charger will work in England as well.
I’m already nervous about driving on the other side of the road and my gps will be my peace of mind! I need to know it works!

With either a Garmin or a Tomtom is it possible to drive offroad and save where you went to the GPS as a road?

What GPS model is there that allows you to hear the street names instead of just the distance to the turnoff?

Newman asked:


For example the tomtom has the voice say, “turn right at 60 meters”. and is there any model or type of GPS that says instead, “turn right at Montgomery Blvd”?

Does the TomTom or the Garmin GPS units tell a person which side of the road your destination is located on?

Does it truly matter if one lasts up to 2 hours (TomTom) and another lasts up to 5? Aren’t these things charging in the car anyway? Just curious.

is it ok to leave your portable gps unit in the care overnight when its really cold out?
