Perfect. I definitely will! Thanks also, by the way, for the web site with the documentation. I'll be looking at that site here later tonight most likely.

It is! by Ideal Group as you said. You didn't mention anything about a beta. This is the only thing though I see that was free and was even rellavantly close. Is this what you're talking about?

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
