Well, then, we need to write the developers, and ask why it's not. Your handset is new enough, I'd have thought it would have been compatible.

You will be pleasantly surprised. It's a great little GPS app and it's free. You can also add favourites and get it to take you to any of your existing contacts as well.

I wasn't sure how to hold my smartphone as I thought that usiing earbuds wasn't safe. Secondly, I was surprsised that the application did not announce much information about from the odd directions on when to turn, I mostly had to rely on my limited vision to see the big arrow on the screen. I was expecting more detailed information about what buildings were around me also. Was I expecting too much ? Any advice from more experienced users would be welcome. Thanks Claire
