Smartphones & Tablets

I just updated both my ipad2 and 5S phone to the newest 7.1? Via my home wifi. The 5s went thru fine but the pad bombed. After an hour or so with apple support to restore the pad, I find out from their own techs that they recommend using I tunes to update ALL apple devices rather than home or business wifi directly. Not that you will always have problems with direct wifi but it COULD happen.

To those who have made the in-app purchase for updates... Hit up the Map Manager within the app... follow the prompt and happy updating...

Ran across this free GPS App. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mapfactor.... .I like the features it offers and appears very easy to use. Have not try out on the road yet. Just checking out what I can at home. Has Camera downloads also free. Not sure just how accurate they may be.It loads maps to the SD Card.

Hi there, i am looking for an app for my android phone and i am searching similar to what ios have with poiviewer.

I have found some apps that can read gpx in googleplay but i have not find anyone with an connection for the navigator.

So what i want is an app that can show my gpx-file and i want it to have a button i can hit, the button should activate my navigator-app and show me the way.

And no, this is not Apple Bashing.

I used to own a Garmin GPS but it broke. I just bought my first smartphone, an iPhone 5s. Are there any speed camera alert options available to iPhone users? Seems it is a waste to buy a separate GPS just for speed camera alerts. Thanks

Your bank data may be at risk if you use iPhone, iPad and iPod

"If you haven't updated your iPhone recently, your personal information and possibly your financial data is at risk. As of Wednesday, he said, only 20 percent of Level's users had updated to the latest version of iOS."

There is now a geocache merit badge available for Boy Scouts. It is very informative in how GPS works. I sat in on my son's class and really learned alot. I had not known how a GPS can zero in to one square meter and how they come up with the longitude and latitude numbers. I would encourage any parent of a scout to get the merit badge. It was also fun finding the caches.

Hello,

I have an Android Tablet. The Dell Venue 7. I have noticed that when I go to Youtube (the mobile website version) I am able to play videos. When I get to the Desktop website version of Youtube I get the message that I need to download Adobe Flash player. Is the any type of flash player that I can download for Android to get the videos to play in the Desktop website version of Youtube?

For those of you that like to bash Apple for the closed garden mentality and then tout Google Android as being an open OS, read this:

Radio Shack (an unlikely source for deals) ran a sale this Sunday and Monday. I learned about it late Monday, but still managed to score a $14 GPS! (The deal is over, but I think you may still be able to find the devices for around $20).

Microsoft is buying Nokia and will soon release a phone that will run Android.

Just can't make this stuff up.

So Google recently unloaded Motorola.

What gives?

This is looking like the beginning of the end for Droid, Android, froyo, cupcake, donut, eclair, honeycomb, kitkat, Jelly Bean, Gingerbread, Ice Cream Sandwich, yadayadayada.

I was eligible for a new phone but held off for a few months, hearing that a new Windows Phone would be out in the spring of 2012. I got a Nokia Lumia 900 in May of 2012 when it came out, and used the free Nokia Drive GPS app, only having to download the map set that I wanted to use. It turned out to work well for me, after having used Tom Tom and CoPilot on my iPhone.

Looks like Google is out front on POIS. Wonder what is holding up Garmin? I put in suggestion a while back and just resubmitted it for Android and Ipad to get POI Loader.
