G-Map with turn by turn - Page 3

Although I've been waiting for Tom Tom I'm really tempted to get Gmap. Since the MacRumors news about the combination hardware/software solution coming soon from Tom Tom, I'm expecting it to be much more expensive than the simple Gmap app.

After reading the information on TomTom, I'm waiting no matter what is released. It's possible that TomTom's talks about the GPS in phone not being strong enough, etc is FUD but I like their hardware / software setup. I love that it has it's own speaker to make the directions louder and the bluetooth and charging plus it's own GPS built in just make it the perfect package IMHO.

I'm thinking the TomTom package will be pretty expensive. They sell a suction cup mount with car charger for one of their existing units for $39.99 already, and this doesn't have a built in GPS chip or speakers as the iPhone one will. I have to think they'll charge $50 for the iPhone one, at least. And their app will probably come in at $99, as Navigon's probably will. At best, I could see TomTom offering a discount code if you buy the car mount first that would give you $20 off the app, or something along those lines, to encourage you to buy both.

I was thinking somewhere along $99 as well. Hopefully it won't be $149.99.

What's a G-Map? Can anyone tell me? Are you guys talking about Google Map?

MileHighRob · 10-12-2009, 02:54 AM

I know you're a fan of G-Map Yancy but I just downloaded and it's locating me somewhere in CA. I've deleted the app and am reinstalling now hoping for a better result with a fresh install.

I bought this because it was the first voice gps app to appear, but I will not upgrade: the reviews in itunes are almost all negative, either the voice part does not work or the developer wants me and others to buy an entirely new app (at full price) to get all the new features. Besides, I have switched to Navigon which I immediately realized is a much better app.

The problems are comming from installing directly on the phone. Delete the app from the phone. Download the update on iTunes on your computer. The install from sync. I did this and all new features work perfect.
