You said it doesnt currently have any live services, such as traffic, Is that something that is going to be added later? that is the main reason I would be willing to buy the application and mount. I wouls be willing to pay $250.00 for a package of both.

Also, one advantage to using the iphone app is having an all in one device

In regards to the map update, the app comes loaded with the latest map, so there is currently no need for an update. For the future a map update solution is currently being worked on, however there are no specific details at the moment.

to each his/her own. I have this and it works wonderfully. Cheap, functional, versatile. Why would I dish out $100 on something that can be done for $20?

No one said you had to buy it.

Will hold off until they sell as a bundle.

My wife wants a gps of her own and this would be an option, but not at the prices being thrown out there ($150-200 plus subscription).

I can update maps via USB or purchase new areas to store on an SD card, so I guess I’m not seeing the value here.

Nice joke. That has to be the worst looking contraption I have ever see. Looks like it was pulled out of a WWII tank. Not only does it play your music over FM transmission, it sends Morse Code, has a handy pocket for your rations, and sends a distress signal back to HQ in Normandy if you get lost. At least it would keep any passengers howling with laughter.

Use this for the mount: http://www.yopool.com/products/Handsfree-Car-FM-Transmitter-Charger-Mount-Holder-Remote-Control-for-iphone-3G.html

you can get it almost anywhere.

it plays your music too over FM transmission.

PS @Truth: multitask after jailbreak and install Backgrounder. Now you can blast your music while using any GPS app and hear everything through the car stereo.

If it does not transmit music to radio: $60. If it does transmit music to radio: $120.

Yeah most gps units would have cost that in 2007. But you can find very good subscription based units for under $160.

P.S. Sorry for the bad english

You would be correct if this was 2007 but GPS units are cheap. A good GPS with no subscription is around $149 dollars and even cheaper if you look.

I have never seen a Phone that required another expensive device in order to do decent turn by turn GPS. This speaks volumes on Apples part (and maybe ATT) in their decision to gimp GPS.

Keep in mind the units I listed are from BestBuy, the absolute worst place to get a deal.

For those who have already purchased it (the map app itself), maybe it should be free. 10 dollar or less on shipping and handling.

If a person wishes to buy this because it’s such an awesome car kit, but wishes to use the other variety maybe pay 50 dollars.

I say this because there are GPS kits out there that are a little less than 100 dollars with the full car kit.

Cosidering what Dymns informed me of I’m willing to pay $199, $100 for the mount and $99 for the app. Most GPS gadgets cost anywhere between $200 and up and require subscription fee. I’d say it’s worth it even if they aak for a fee to update the maps.

since the app is probably going to be 100, i’d pay 50 for the mount.

i think the mount is going to be closer to 100 though, which would mean that i might still buy it but only after a lot of hesitation, research and comparison shopping with other turn by turn apps for the iPhone.

P.S. I had a dream last night that AT&T released MMS via an automatic carrier update. I knew I was dreaming when it was automatic.

P.P.S. I’m serious!

I also wouldn’t pay anything over 10 dollars assuming it’s a plastic base and made in China under a dollar.
