finally a garmin product for the iphone. too bad that the map is only cached and it seems no 3rd party apps allowed. but it's a cheaper alternative than buying a nuvi, for US customers, that is

Oh man, if that app could only work with Mapsource and 3rd party maps like RG, iphone owners will have a field day

i recommend that RG make their own apps on iphone, im sure it will profit.

we will definitely not do it. RG exists not because of profit. sure, we do enter into licensing agreements from time to time but not for profit but rather just to sustain the operation of this project.

it's been said before that a handful of companies have approached RG before, but they were turned down because we don't want to commercialize the map and in the end we might end up paying for map updates ourselves.

Oh man! I was so excited when i heard garmin has an app for iphones and ipads.. I still use RG map with my trusty ol winmo 6.5 phone (using garmin xt) but would LOVE to see GPS work on an iPad!

UNFORTUNATELY, i discovered it wont load RG maps or any other maps for that matter..

I REALLY, REALLY hope future versions or new apps will finally let users load garmin compatible maps like RG...

BTW, Papago doesnt use RG maps, right? I hear bad reviews about it..

papago does use RG maps. but it's not about the map but rather papago's software and hardware.
