Hello All,
I don't know anything about GPS or iphone but it seems if the two were combined it would save space and $. I need a new phone soon and would consider the big $ if it doubled as a GPS, otherwise I will buy a very cheap phone cos I just need it to make a few calls otherwise.
Does anyone use the Mud-Map app for iphone? Is it a good thing? I would be keen to hear your thoughts. Thank you.
For those that want to find out there is info at http://www.mud-maps.com/
Cheers............. Rod

Evening Rod,
All i use is an old 3G phone that is hard wired into the Ute, and 1 Garmin MP76c, which is hard wired also, and has All of Australas Off Road tracks for Bush Travelling with Trip & Waypoint Manager and is also wired into the Laptop. As well I have a Garmin Nuvi which has most of the cities of Australia with the" were is" componet in it for finding my way thru the traffic. It is also set for me to advoied all Toll Roads etc. This way I only have a small phone Bill each month, not the thousand of dollars that some people seem to get. All this works for me and I travell thousands of Klm's a year. Hope this Helps. Cheers Roadie.

Any updates on this App?
My question is does it still track when you are out of phone range? They say the map still works as it is loaded on your iPhone but will it still track, as you need satellite capabilities I was not aware iPhone had this. I thought google maps and other apps worked of the network your phone supports???????
Looks like a good App, probably pointless if the iPhone does not pick up satellites, can anyone clarify this?
Cheers,
Babs.

Yes the iPhone has a gps built in. Not the best gps in the world, but still does work. It will struggle in heavy cover. It uses phone signal when in range to increase it's accuracy.
I have no experience with this app sorry.

No experience with the app, but I believe the stand alone gps is less than stellar.
Battery life is also a major issue when running the gps on a mobile phone, so make sure you do some research.
