One thing to note about nearby Explorer: it also includes turn by turn directions. If you are looking for this as well as street identification, then great. If however you are just looking for a way to ID the streess as you pass them, then you may not want to pay $80, even if it is all at once. For a while there was a free app called iMove which did this and a few other things. You might check the AppleVis site for more ideas: www.appleVis.com
