I tried it yesterday on iso 6 beta 4, it doesn’t work. It doesn’t recalculate the route and it does not speak.
The Android navigator based on google maps is ahead 100 years and I had it 2 years ago on android 2.2!

So you can’t, say, download an entire city, or state?
Caching maps has been top of my wish list for a long time.

The cell towers should help you lock on faster, but they really shouldn’t be more accurate than GPS. If they are, you’re probably having your GPS signal blocked and are about to be attacked by the US military.

Does the turn-by-turn feature work anywhere in the world like let’s say I’m in Singapore or Australia or is this feature again limited to those in the States?Because if it is then that is going to be a pointless anticipation for me and the rest of the world who don’t live in the US.

True, but remember the iPhone not only gets the position via GPS, but uses the cellphone towers around it to calculate it a bit more accurately. My guess is it should recalculate or re-realize i got signal again pretty quickly. my old 3g used to get gps position quicker than a garmin gps

The iPhone gps is not very accurate. I may have to buy either a better gps antenna for my phone, or a dedicated GPS to leave in my car.

I don’t know. Most of my travels are down 146 these days.

One thing I’m curious, by being the Bostonian as you do, is that: How fast does it re-calculate the route (or re-realize that it got the signal) after you gone through I-93 or I-90 tunnel?
