No, Navigon does not do this. Apparently BlindSquare does and you can have it running while you are also using Navigon or other GPS turn-by-turn apps. _ From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Sharonda Greenlaw Sent: Sunday, March 03, 2013 7:57

Hi, Yes, I've had that happen to me, but on an iPhone 5. As far as you getting refurbished ones, they're brand new. They simply go in the back in the store and grab a new phone. Your AppleCare will transfer over to the replacement phone as well. I was also told that phones purchased through App

Yup, I read the description on amazon. The only difference between the 3 models is, the 100 has 1 phone jack, the 110 has 2, and it says the second one is for those who want to keep their land line phone, and the 202 model is built with 2 lines in and a modem. Think I will try it like I did with

Put it this way, you lead with the top edge if flat, with the back of the device if upright. That would make sense if you were going somewhere and looking at the screen. Rh. - Original Message - From: "Debbie Downey" To: Sent: Sunday, March 03, 2013 10:27 AM Subject: RE: Blind square
