I can't comment on the quality or functionality since I use a Blackberry, but the price is right:

Garmin/ Apple released StreetPilot app for iphone around Christmas. I have tried it yet. It has been listed for $39.99 CAD on App Store. It has almost all features of a Nuvi e.g. Lane Assit, Traffic, Weather etc.

Does anybody know if the Magellan iPhone app is capable of Red Light camera alerts?

This is a tangent topic from another forum on Android phones and GPS.

Does anyone know how to transfer the Outlook calendar to the Droid 2 without going through google. I may also want to transfer my contacts but right now I am just interested in the calendar. Thank you.

Who in the POI-Factory community is Using the Android based OS Phones?

What Great App do you have for it?
Lets Hear a`little about your make and model The Positives & Negatives for the Phone.

I'll start:

Motorola Droid2: Rooted and a Custom Epic Unleashed ROM installed with the Verizon blotware removed.

Purchased about a month ago and so far would never lose my Garmin for the navigation in this thing. I like it as a smart phone but after you are used to the Garmin, this navigation leaves a lot to be desired. Not as complete nor as easy to use as my Nuvi. Any other reaction to it?

This was posted on another forum. I wonder if this will work with Google Maps Navigation? If so, that would be pretty handy to be able to use Google Maps Navigation without a data plan.

I have an IPHONE with NAVIGON GPS. I was wondering if it is possible to add the RED LIGHT CAMERAS poi???? Could someone point me towards the answer. Thanks...

I'm currently in Vegas on a road trip. I used my Android phone to google locations, GPS to get to the places, and then do wireless wifi tethering on my Android phone to browse the web on my laptop, all for free (well nothing on top of my basic data plan).

This is amazing.

Just saw this article. New gps app for android which installs the maps to your phone so you can still navigate if you lose cell coverage. http://www.slashgear.com/copilot-live-gps-app-for-android-is...

Has anyone tried this out yet?

Can I load redlight & camera on my Android OS smartphone (Motorola Droid) & make them work? If so, how? I have mobile: Google maps, a GPS App, a Nav App, etc.

I just found out about the Point Inside for Android earlier this week. I hope to try this at the Mall of America soon. The FAQs state that once this is downloaded, the application can be used without a wireless connection. For others here with Android, what are your favorite GPS applications?

If you own an IPhone this is another alternative to the Garmin Ecoroute HD:

Has anyone found a GPS app that will factor in traffic?

I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place.

I've noticed that my smartphone's GPS is at least as accurate as a couple of my dedicated GPS units. I wonder how many other folks use their smartphones for GPS.

Anyone have one of these yet?

I bit, and bought one last week. Took it on a 500+ mile drive to the Outer Banks over the weekend.

Here is an article in the Seattle Times this morning on a review of the Garminfone.....

Just got back from a Vacation in Arkansas... HOT but nice!

We visited a couple who retired there, and we went around the state, using My 660 (With all updates), and we had an issue trying to find Rush, Arkansas.
