Do you know if the Navigon chews up cell data?<br /><br />As for Siri, I enjoy my budding relationship with her. I'm using Pavlovian techniques with her. I said thank you to her when she performed particularly well, and she answered "<i>No, it is I who thank you!</i>".David Massehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09346419242154545286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776318709416054670.post-85323985270164521732013-02-04T12:35:00.220-05:002013-02-04T12:35:00.220-05:00Bob, the problem with 90% of the Garmins with Blue...Bob, the problem with 90% of the Garmins with Bluetooth, is that they only allow your phone to use the Garmin as a handsfree unit. They don't send the turn-by-turn directions by Bluetooth to the car stereo or a Sena headset. The Zumo does, but man it's expensive.<br /><br />I have to see if one of the GPS apps for iOS sends the directions out over Bluetooth. If it does, and if it doesn't chew up data, then that might be the best solution.<br /><br />More homework to do. Then again, plan B is just to keep your Vee or Beemer in sight at all times.David Massehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09346419242154545286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776318709416054670.post-50551163249887916512013-02-02T21:21:10.644-05:002013-02-02T21:21:10.644-05:00I don't have two cents to add but thanks for t...I don't have two cents to add but thanks for the chuckles. The first thing I did was shutting up Siri. I am a bad listener to begin with but I certainly can't have some computerized pseudo female voice tell me what to do.<br /><br />On a side note Roland has been using Navigon on his iPhone4s and he's very happy with it.SonjaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389245948579828531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776318709416054670.post-61053454391695291362013-02-01T17:11:03.481-05:002013-02-01T17:11:03.481-05:00David:

Of course once it has the map, it is good until you move along and then it needs "more" of the map, then it will use up data again to get the "revised" map.<br /><br />I believe the TOM TOM app for iOS you have the maps already installed in the memory of the iPhone, thus it MAY NOT need to be attached to the cell network but the app costs around $100. I also hear that your iPhone battery may dwindle down faster.<br /><br />better to get a new Garmin GPS with bluetooth and use the Zip Lock waterproof method. All of my Garmins are old and the maps are outdated. Next time I'm getting one with "lifetime" maps.<br /><br />bob<br /><a href="http://www.wetcoastscootin.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Riding the Wet Coast</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.com
