Hi: For the record:I used the internal GPS receiver as well as an external iBlue receiver running on BTStack. I did not check the compass though.

Hi, I have checked out this AP, comments below.

Whether the monitor was turned on or off, the app continually updated the direction heading and even that, in many cases was incorrect.Noticed that, figure that is the compass not the AP.2. In some cases, the cross street was named when I was 10 or 20 pases on the other side; great if you want to know where you were and not where you are going.Saw that only once, could be GPS drift. iBlue.3. In many cases, the cross streets were not named at all.They were named here.In summary: the app may be worth the money if you want to invest in the creator's R&D costs of developing an orientational GPS app for the iPhone; but if you are looking to depend on this app, you might want to wait a while -- the app is simply not ready for PrimeTime.Maybe Mike or someone from Sindero might want to waigh in on this subject.Cheers.Sendero Group Distributors and developers of Sendero GPS for 6 platforms, BrailleNote, BrailleSense, Pac Mate, Windows PC, iPhone and Mobile Geo for Windows phones.
