The other issue with MapQuest is that you need to have a data connection. Navigon works when your cell connection is nonexistent or less than 3g. Mary Mary Otten motte...@gmail.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group. Post a new message to V

to be fair, Mapquest only works for people in the United States. So that is one thing that many other apps provide that Mapquest does not, IE, maps for other countries. Richard (Sent from Richard's iPod Touch 5th gen) On Jul 11, 2013, at 10:48 AM, Craig Werner wrote: > I agree with Richard's

I'd give Navigon my vote simply because none of the other apps except Tomtom is available and in Motionx Gps-drives case probably never will be available outside the anglocentric world. I'd be curious to know what other scandinavian folks and also others outside the world according to the Unite
