The GPS is damned good in my opinion. It doesn’t work well inside at all, it’ll still give you the big circle (although, much smaller than the previous version), but as soon as I stepped outside it gave me a single dot to identify where I was, and it was damn near close. I was in a parking lot and I was able to count the lines for the spaces, and the dot had me on the correct line. As I walked across the parking lot, the little blue dot slides across the map seamlessly in time with me. I haven’t tried it while driving yet to see if it updates the directions at the top, but a friend of mine that is here with me right now said that he “heard that it does not update automatically.” I’ll try to confirm/deny for you when I leave here to go home. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/omg-official-iphone-thread/52737)._
