hi mary yes it is very interesting about the gps receivers i always clip mine on my collar as on the bus it works so much better as it is at window height. the difficulty with using navigon on the iphone is you have to have the iphone just as high otherwise if in a bag or pocket it will not pick up as well. i personally use the m1000 which i find very good but really i could do with a new gps receiver. i still think the best ones are the external ones. maybe i am out of date on this but i suse satnav a lot. the sendero is brilliant and if like me you can afford it it is far far the very best. look forward as well as you to any response to the new iblue. for us the on off switch is important. cheers now. ----- source message ----- from: Mary Otten <motten53@xxxxxxxxx> to: gps-talkusers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx date: 2010/07/12 22:35:39 subject: [gps-talkusers] Re: opinions about receivers > > > I looked on Amazon and found a couple different versions of the IBlue 737a, > one of which has v2 in its name, which makes me think its a later revision. > the cost is the same for both of these, so logic says, buy the later one.
