hmm. i’m content with a program like what the iphone comes with. it takes up the whole screen, you just click “next” for the next turn’s instructions. but no voiceover or anything like that (i tried using a voiceover gps, i can’t hear shit as I always have music on) ---

when you get the 2.0 update, the turn-by-turn navigation will be built into the google maps app, which is a standard app. ---
