The software does NOT make use of real-time positioning. It gets your starting location, and then it "guesses" how long it'll take you to move to the next location based on the speed limit. If you miss a turn or get stuck in traffic, it just happily continues on. Apple has blocked use of the A-GPS chip for "navigation purposes" and this app didn't magically find it's way around.]]>Dec 25th 2008 2:31AMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2008/12/23/xroad-g-map-app-brings-bona-fide-navigation-to-the-iphone/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2008/12/23/xroad-g-map-app-brings-bona-fide-navigation-to-the-iphone/

All GPS system use a combination of GPS signal, inertia and "snap to road" to keep your icon on the road in the display.

On the Building GPS systems I have in both my cars, I get the same problem, it's just a little more frequently in G-Maps.]]>Mar 10th 2009 9:28PMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2008/12/23/xroad-g-map-app-brings-bona-fide-navigation-to-the-iphone/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2008/12/23/xroad-g-map-app-brings-bona-fide-navigation-to-the-iphone/Dec 23rd 2008 3:49PMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2008/12/23/xroad-g-map-app-brings-bona-fide-navigation-to-the-iphone/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2008/12/23/xroad-g-map-app-brings-bona-fide-navigation-to-the-iphone/Dec 24th 2008 12:24AMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2008/12/23/xroad-g-map-app-brings-bona-fide-navigation-to-the-iphone/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2008/12/23/xroad-g-map-app-brings-bona-fide-navigation-to-the-iphone/Dec 23rd 2008 6:25PMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2008/12/23/xroad-g-map-app-brings-bona-fide-navigation-to-the-iphone/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2008/12/23/xroad-g-map-app-brings-bona-fide-navigation-to-the-iphone/Dec 24th 2008 9:10PM
