Anyone got any good recommendations?

Was using my Nokia E72 which had free GPS with voice navigation, and downloadable maps for most countries. Can't seem to find a reasonable equivalent for the ME for iPhone Apps. THe usual TomTom and CoPilot, but only aimed at UK and Europe, and also a bit pricey. (iPhone 4 iOS 4.3.2)

BTW - it's not a jail broken handset - yet.

there is no free equivalent i don't think..but like you say maybe if you jailbreak..i would just pick up a cheap garmin and use that instead to be honest. i got a Garmin 255W for about SR900 i think and it has full european and full middle east north africa maps. also my iphone burns battery when using the gps so i can only imagine what turn-by-turn directions would be like..

Ok, thanks for the advice, maybe will just pick up a dedicated GPS set.

Why did you stop using the E72? It's the best free solution you're going to get...

Still got the E72 with all KSA maps downloaded - D'oh. Didn't think of that really, could still use it, just pop the sim card in and its away.

You don't even need the SIM, though it makes getting a GPS lock rather slower if you don't have one.

Actually thought about that specific question as soon as I posted the previous reply, whether it could still work as a GPS device in 'Offline' mode / without a sim card in.

Might give it a try tomorrow on the way to work, in which case, can just leave it in the car, everything is set up - windscreen holder, in car charger.....
