MMS? There is an app that does this. What is everyone moaning about? People shouldnt buy the iphone if they dont fully understand the gps capabilities – it has gps not sat nav!

I’m in Dubai at the moment and wanted to use my iPhone gps to get me around without using it as a phone. I took the sim out and it now records the GPS coors, but unless I’m in range of a free wireless service (not the common in Dubai) I don’t get any maps. So the sooner TomTom and Apple sort this out the better! I’ll be first in the queue to buy it!

Glad this forum exists - it means I won't buy an iphone either until it has the TomTom app. As soon as it does I'll buy it for its all round ability assuming I haven't got bored and bought a Nokia instead!

Come on Apple - come clean and be honest about what the is causing the delay, acknowledge that the issue is being worked and give us a clue as to when we can get in the queue to buy one!

AND SOON!

It is number 1 for me too. After leaving WinMo for iPhone 3g I'm back to carrying out my phone and sat nav for car journeys when one could do both.

As a side note, I don't understand all this moaning about MMS - who uses MMS..?

Well, I hope someone from Apple reads this. I believe that the reason for not having turn by turn GPS app on iPhone 3g is political, not technical. And for that reason I am seling my iPhone (which I should NOT have bought in the first place!) and getting a real GPS phone. Simple as that!

I’m really upset abt not having TomTom on my iPhone 3G, knowing that turn by turn GPS whas one of the main reasons of why i bought my iphone. I thought it would be the all in one solution for me, but it’s not yet… (sold my TomTom 720 to a friend)… and now i have to use the ****** google map’s app wich is worthless when you are on the road… hope Apple wont put more delays on the release of TomTom (i’ve been at a techtalk and they say the limit for an iphone app is 2 Gigs, so, that may be the problem on selling it at the appstore…) Apple, just get that limit higher at least for TomTom only.. c’mon make all of us a favor.

sinshixxi, Are you saying that you actually have gps software running using an external gps receiver and that you get turn by turn directions? If so, which software application is it as I’d like to give it a go? Thanks
