Dallas, TX | HAHA hahahahahaahhaa BWAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHA - What a fucking joke!!
So, a VZ or Sprint iPhone user, riding in their car, using things like navigation, takes a bluetooth phone call, and the data drops?
So much for usefulness! | |

Melmac | Re: HAHA hahahahahaahhaa On Android, Google Navigation caches a lot of your trip so it doesn't have this issue (I was once on a 20 minute phone call and navigation worked the whole time on my Evo). I am assuming Apple's turn by turn will do the same thing. | |

Google caches the whole route usually, but make a wrong turn without data and see what happens. You'll get a nice, "Follow route" message until it gets the connection back.
The latest updates to google maps allow you to pre-cache a lot of map data, so it's less of an issue if you remember to do it before you start driving. | |

I think that's a big assumption

Naperville, IL | well this is really an Apple decision, not Sprint/VZW
Sprint already do SVDO, which allow for call and EVDO data at the same time on 3G, its Apple's decision not to implment SVDO....... | |

If it's anything like TomTom on iOS, then the maps would already be preloaded on the phone, something that would be invaluable when using turn by turn outside the country where you would have no data roaming. | |

Dallas, TX | Re: HAHA hahahahahaahhaa Most mobile mapping/routing apps don't store the maps locally. They download the maps as needed based on locale. Biggest reason is on device storage that is wasted by having all the maps locally. The benefit of this is you can always have the most up to date maps available realtime, as well as current traffic/construction/delays on your route.
TomTom is different. Stored locally, so yes the maps are always there.

Brooklyn, NY | Can afford iPhone. Can't afford a GPS for less than $100? But I guess I never have to worry about it, my car came with navigation. | |
