Default MobileMaps: One-Time Purchase Turn-By-Turn

You wanted it, you got it! Turn-by-turn GPS app for a one-time purchase cost.

North America is coming soon.

I can't vouch for the quality of these apps, but this is just an FYI to let you know that a voice turn-by-turn app without a monthly fee actually exists.

The more I go "street hiking," more photos will be added so keep checking!

Does it download the maps locally?

It probably uses the Google maps program. Motion X GPS uses google's map views (road, satellite, terrain, etc) for part of their app.

It's description says you have the maps loaded on the phone just like standalone gps receivers. The Europe edition is almost 2 gigs big.

I just looked at the screen shots. Definitely not from Google.
Here's a kicker though, I didn't pay attention to the price the first time around.
$99 for Europe. It's probably going to be like 2 times that for US.

Well, it's grouped by continent so North America will probably be U.S., Canada and Mexico. Yeah, it's going to be expensive though.

Mobile Maps for North America is out. Here's the iTunes link: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/M...319354212&mt=8

It's $79.99. Not bad considering it covers the U.S., Canada and Mexico. I hope that means Hawaii is included although it is NOT part of North America.

However, I don't see any feature that it works with the iPod in your iPhone. But you can receive a call and when you're done it will continue back on your route.

You'd think it would be. But, I'm not sure.
