Not an answer to your question but although I see a lot of posts on this list 
about GPS navigation and the various apps that people have success with I 
wonder whether many people are at the stage of walking around with them?  I ask 
as I have a Trekker which I quite liked although  I changed to another on my 
mobile which had a map and a few other things I like.  I found I had to press 
more keys than the Trekker to get to items I needed, such as to record a 
faviourite but the trade off was worth it for me.  So I'm thinking I'd found it 
a step in the wrong direction to start using a touch interface while moving.  
This isn't a statement, I can't try it for myself as I only have an iPod Touch 
but I would be interested in people's views from actual users.

Thanks

Dean
