Let me start by saying I don't work for FreedomPop and I get nothing by posting this.

Garmin and the Smartphone link app
Hi, I just switch from the Iphone 5 to an android phone so I decided to get the garmin smartphone link app installed on my phone. I've used it for a few days but I don't see the benefit of the app. Am I missing anything and what are the FREE benefits for the app?
Does anyone else use the app and what FREE feature do you use?
Happy thanksgiving to all our great members!

Apple Maps
I'm sure this has been beaten into the ground by now but I thought I'd share a funny story about my iPhone Maps using the new IOS.
I'm very happy with my Garmin so I've always used it instead of the iPhone for navigation. But one day I decided to run both and see what happened. Having heard how bad the new Apple maps are, I wanted to check it out for myself.

Price starts at $499 for 32GB Windows RT (includes Office Home & Student). That's not bad at all.

Analytics: iOS gaining share, iPhone 5 beating Galaxy S III
"Uniform upgrading and rapid adoption are two important advantages that Apple, which issues updates to all eligible devices simultaneously, holds over Android -- where carriers decide when and if various devices will get upgrades, and often delay or forbid updates in the hopes that users will upgrade to newer hardware."

Help Me Select A Rugged Smartphone Suitable For GPS
While this might not be the most appropriate forum to help select a smartphone, I respect the members opinions here immensely. I am in the market for a rugged smartphone. I will use this rugged smartphone for GPS as well as other applications. I hope that Garmin StreetPilot For Android is available soon, but if not I will go for TomTom For Android.
