Hi although it is very limited, i have tried the free verrsion. what really bugs me is the fact that its TTS talks overtop of voiceover constantly, so you are never hearing what voiceover is telling you and if it's important, that could bee bad or dangerous. My friends have it and as I said beffore, they loove it. How do you like it? Another thing I do not like, is that it does not have its own navigation system, you must use third party gps apps, and my favorite one so far, Scout maps is not even supported.
