Nokia still hasn’t found its way to a successful comeback in the smartphone market. But the company is hoping to get its tentacles into competitors’ phones through mapping applications, a move it hopes will help it improve its 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.

Navigation App without Data Plan?
Hi,
Does anyone know of a navigation app that can use my phone's built in GPS and not require a data plan?
I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy S3.
Thanks.
Anyone looking forward to the new Nexus 4 that's coming out Nov 13?

Microsoft Surface Tablet
There's no dedicated tablet discussion group so I'm posting this in smartphone. Microsoft has announced pricing for the Surface tablets:

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

Directions are goofy, POI's are mislabeled or not located in the correct spot.
I'm sure Apple will learn from their mistakes and will eventually have a great product but for now I don't want to be a BETA tester.
