…and your grossness continues. You were the one complaining that the iPhone didn’t have GPS.

For the record, I personally could care less about GPS.

By the way, I hate to “dash your fragile hopes”; but the fact that this thing requires a toggle switch means it is going to drain the battery like a siev being connected to the tx/rx lines continually. This will not be a good solution.

And why does the iPhone cast a shadow but the TomTom unit does not?

And what happened to the ever present status bar across the top of the iPhone screen?

And why do the lines that run down…

You get the point.
