is it as accurate as like a real GPS unit
How about when you get a call do you get kicked out of the app ? After you end the call does it automatically resume navigation. Or does navigation keep going regardless.
Also can i answer phone calls via bluetooth and still navigate with the app.
Thank you for your time and the great review vid.
Also in the video do you have an iPhone 3G or 3GS ?
Hello, if I plug in my iPod Touch 2nd Generation will it also get GPS signal without monthly charges, essentially making my iPod a GPS for cars?
Going over to Magellan with hopes of accommodation. I use the iTelescope with 2G. I plan to mount handlebars.
@a9653192 wondering this myself
i have a question, how is gonna work with the ipod if the ipod doesnt have wirless connection everywhere?
what gps app are you using and how much did it cost you?
Can anyone tell me if this works with iPod 1G?? I know it says 2G but I really want the Magellan one as my father has a Magellan GPS and I like it a lot. Also this is used with iPhone and iPod.
You are very good at explaining things. Maybe you could explain how to use the Magellan 4700 for the first time, because I don’t know what to do to charge my battery, how long I should let it on the charger (car cigarette lighter). Also, how to update maps, and what to do if a street is not available when to add on personnal destinations.
Hey Does the app show traffic and void w/ alerts?

Once you attached to mount with the adhesive, you you remove it and then reattach it later, or is the adhesive permanent
