Turn-by-Turn Nav For The iPod Touch Approved by Apple

Some other issues:

- no auto-zoom at round-a-bouts and junctions.

- poi icons on the 2D map are tiny.....cant make them out at all.

- with ipod working in the background, the music sometimes stops to be followed by a period of silence before re-starting. Its as if navmii is trying to give some instructions but just cant get the words out!

- when approaching junctions the arrow sometimes "runs on" along the main road even though I have made a turning following the suggested route....navmii then "thinks" I have gone off route and recalculates the route even though I have actually continued along the suggested route.

Clearly there is still a lot of work needed on this before it becomes a serious contender.

....and another thing. I absolutely HATE the voice used. He sounds like a local radio DJ. ..... Laughing

Thought I'd give Navmii for iphone a try, mainly due to PGPS world cameras being included and from the little I've used it I'm quite impressed. Just some observations:-

- No warning bleep for safety cameras? even though set.
- would be nice to be able to configure distance warning for each type of camera/speed.
- Would like to see speed limit in force displayed all the time next to the actual (not just when exceeding).
- Some issue with incorrect speed limits (i.e. warning the limit is 30mph when it been 50mph for years)
- Would like to see GPS strength bars (5?) rather than red/yellow/green.
- generally good position following and speed reading.
- Voice seems to default back to Dave even though Kate is set.
- Ability to select POIs to be displayed.
- POI's are too small.
- Like the safety camera pop-up information - very clear.
- Safety camera date old - lets hope that the info gets updated 1 per week inline with PGPSW releases.

Overall I can not really complain for a £20 app. With the amount of companies offering smartphone routing solutions I think we are about to see the death of the dedicated PND; and on that bombshell - Goodnight!!!

Just heard from Navmii that Alternate Route/Detour will be in the next release.

Navmii is starting to rival Copilot for bizare route suggestions. Below is the suggested route from Peterborough to Leicester. I do this route regularly and it is A47 almost all the way. The Navmii suggested going A1 / A14 / M1 resulting in a total distance of 83 miles......my normal route on the A47 is just 45 miles.

If these developers really hope to rival tomtom they have just got to get the routing sorted.....and quick!
