I was in the market for a gps software and concidered TomTom.
But being in Canada, I would only be able to use it in Canada.
Could you imagine the roaming data rates if I were to use it in the USA
I think I will be upgrading my old Garmin. Overall it will be cheaper. What do you think?
too bad iphone's gps module sucks. AT&T's $9.99 a month Navigator and Navigon are better than the TomTom app, but still pales in comparison to Blackberry's GPS. Too bad I no longer have my work blackberry, now Im stuck with my iphone's gps. I reeeeeally miss the gps on the blackberry. It's a huge difference.
