Allen,
The Seeing Eye GPS app announces intersection just like the Maestro or Breeze do. I used to own a Maestro and later had MobileGeo which basically is the same but was designed for the old Windows Mobile platform and one thing I found even then when the information was updated was that a lot of POI's that the Trekker announced were not actually correct or even there any more. It seemed it was using outdated information even back then and given how fast businesses change these days I would guess that in most cases the POI information nowadays is pretty useless. I think here accessing online maps which get updated much more often is the way to go.

It will depend on your needs. If you are going to be out and about all day long and require a GPS system, then you would be better off with a Trekker and save your battery power for your iPhone. The GPS in the iPhone will really suck up the battery. On the other hand, if you just want a GPS app for just in case, then an iPhone GPS app will probably due. The Trekker however uses maps with more points of interest then some of the GPS apps and offers announcement of each street your passing by such as Jones street on your left or 3 way crossing. Jones street on your left, Smith road in front and Jones street on your right. This tells you that Jones street runs left and right and it assumes you know the street your already on. Far more detailed then many iPhone apps. So again, it will depend on your needs which way will be the best. Regards, Alan Go Chicago Bears in 2014!

I was surprised to find out today that Humanware still makes a hand held version of the trekker breeze. I thought in this era of smart phone apps Trekker was extinct. It may be an unfair question, but how do any of the Iphone gps apps compare to the current Trekker? -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
