BTW, before I got Fido's data plan I used a dedicated TomTom GPS. I downloaded map updates every quarter too, to make sure I was using fresh data. I had a smartphone with SpeakOut's 100MB for $10 data add-on, but that simply wasn't enough data for use as a GPS. One trip to Tronno with Waze and I'd go through half my monthly quota. With 3GB/month it's a non issue.AncasterRFD wrote: ↑Live dynamic data > standalone GPS. Something like Waze helps you avoid jams/accidents with p2p, "OK google" can quickly answer "Find near me...", look up restaurant reviews, tell you the history about a landmark, etc. Augmented reality is just getting started and will make the standalone GPS feel like a paper map.
Now I use my smartphone for navigation and I'll never go back. Another nice feature is integration. For instance if I have an event in my Google Calendar I can just tap on the address and Google Navigator starts giving me directions. Try that with a dedicated GPS.
