    And shit like this is why I will stick with my TomTom instead of a damned phone to navigate.

    You do realize there are oodles of offline map apps that can navigate without any connectivity, right?

    I have Navigon, but there are a number of others... including TomTom. And they all work way better on the phones than the physical dedicated devices.

    Well, except for the GPS, that's usually a bit better in the dedicated devices... but you can also get external bluetooth GPS units that enhance GPS reception to the level of any other good dedicated GPS device.
