One reason I held off on getting an iPhone last fall after all my gnashing of teeth and wailing in my decision making is the problem we have had in our rural area is that people with Garmins and Tom-toms had problems with maps showing roads where none existed or that were actually private drives and easements that you can't access or use. I guess with our really low population density there haven't been as much update work and additions as other areas. Home nurses coming here to do I.V. and wound dressings had to call and ask if the address was correct and how to find our home.

If this is still a problem I don't want to spend the money for a phone and data time if it won't work around our area since this where the majority of my riding gets done. I'll have to try out some apps with my wife's Blackberry smartphone and see if things are improving. Till then it is land nav and dead reckoning for me.
