Garmin North America App on an iPhone 4S

I recently installed the Garmin North America App on my iPhone 4S.

Although it is a nice app and clearly better than Google Maps, and up there with Navigon, it is not a replacement for my Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx. I'd have to say that the Garmin North America iPhone app emulates a low to mid range nuvi which has but a fraction of the features of the 60CSx.

iPhone 5 and iPad 3

Well, there are many alleged stories popping up regarding the iPhone 5 and a release sometime later this year, around summer-ish.

Let's use this thread to compile notes.

Also, iPad 3 is getting more attention lately with a pending release. Rumors there are the iPad 3 will be getting 4G LTE data capability.

T-Mobile Coverage

I'm about to enter the 21st century with an Android phone. T-Mobile has a plan that's cheaper than my AT&T dumb phone. My only concern is that the coverage map has a lot of holes out West. I do get free roaming and the phone supports basic GSM, 3G and 4G. Will I have trouble getting connected in many places?

Android App For POI Files?

I just got a Toshiba Thrive tablet for myself and was wondering if there is any app that will import POI files? I dug around here and came up with several leads but many were old or just confusing.

It looks like some apps will import CVS or GPX files, specifically Geocaching apps, but I'm not sure if they will actually work.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Chuck

Importing POIs into the Navigon app in my iphone

Can you suggest how I can import my POIs (in kml/kmz format) into the Navigon app in my iphone 4?

if this is not possible, what iphone app will allow importing of POIs? I need an app with maps as I will be using the app when there is no cellphone coverage.

Thanks in advance.

CoPilot Live Standard Or Premium?

I am thinking of buying CoPilot Live for an Android Motorola Defy, but I cannot seem to tell from their webpage what the differences are between Standard and Premium. If anybody here has experience with CoPilot, I would love to hear what the differences are in the two choices.

Droid-x can not be upgraded to latest version of OS

I find that my Verizon Droid-X can not be upgraded to the latest OS.

It appears that Google drops all support for a droid phone 18 months after the phone has been announced.

Apple does not do this. One can load the latest apple OS onto the oldest apple iphone.

So, this is one negative of the Droid
