Garmin nuvi 265WT 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS NavigatorI purchased my first GPS the Garmin 265 WT on a recommendation from one of my tech friends who works(like myself) for the Disaster Relief Team. We respond to all disasters in the US and properties, west of the Miss River. Many times we are sent to areas without readable addresses, however with help from of our GPS tools, we are able to almost pinpoint our location where people need assistance. My friend has owned his Garmin for almost a year, and now he wants to upgrade to my 265 WT. I am pleased with all its features, and would recommend it to anyone traveling anywhere. The shipment was fast, even though I was in another state, not my home. The only drawback was it did not come with a instruction book and I could not use all the features available. A computer was not always available to download the information, however we just kept working with the basic instructions and were able to do what had to be done. I would purchase from Amazon, again, as a matter of fact have allready done so. Thanks for the great service, and good price.I had been shopping for almost a year before purchasing from Amazon.

"It is sad that the instinct has turn by turn gps and the iphone does not"

It is sad that the iPhone doesn't even have something as simple as COPY AND PASTE. Freaking unbelievable!

The following app was published Oct 8. It has self contained map data on iPhone and routing with directions. 3D graphics. Anyone else notice this? I just came across it today.

Getting the data over the cell network is bad. It means the cost of using it abroad is prohibitive.

See Dieter’s article linked to above. There may be nasty legal reasons why Google Maps + Turn-by-Turn are unavailable on the iPhone…

If so, should Apple ditch Google to get Turn-by-Turn from another service??

I agree with John on this. Its simply sad that Apple didn’t have this at launch of the 2G iPhone much less the 3G iPhone. Even though its the standard TeleNav GPS system that is on many other smartphones, it works very well with the Instinct because of the large screen. Hopefully, Apple does the right thing and adds many new features that should have been added in the last firmware updates in the 2.3 firmware update.

I heard that LifeInPocket (which is free and with turn by turn voice navigation) will support iPhone. I saw that in a news article.
