If you're interested in auto news and have an iPhone we've recently brought you posts about a Mercedes mbrace iPhone app as well as an iPhone Car Kit from Navigon. Now, for those who have an iPhone and wish assist with directions you're set for a nice surprise as Garmin has finally unveiled its StreetPilot navigation app for that iPhone. It will cost you $40 therefore if you're wondering the way it compares with a hardware Garmin GPS navigator, this might help you out.
Articles by Charlie White over on Mashable, compares the StreetPilot for iPhone app using the Garmin Nuvi 1690. White notes the reason the Garmin app for iPhone may be so very long coming happens because Garmin has been focusing on smartphone hardware and asserts that Garmin has done pretty well with adapting its software for an iOS device. One of many big positives using the software version is obviously that maps may be regularly updated more than a 3G network.
White highlights this is actually a problem if you're outside a 3G network area but which he didn't find it an underlying cause for concern. The app can also be said to have many with the top features of the Garmin hardware versions, such as tourist attractions, and spoken street names. In reality White shows that the iPhone app included more information than you are on the Nuvi 1690 and only agreed to be occasionally slower compared to the Garmin Nuvi 1690 but had the added benefit of giving street names in advance.
If you want to read all of the information that White speaks about then check out the full article on the Mashable link above. This article concludes though that $40 can be a reasonable price understanding that Garmin did an "admirable job" using the StreetPilot app. You can also see a video with the testing over on the full article.
