 RE: GPS on Smartphones
Jim, I really appreciate all the details in your response, very helpful. I'm
new to the 'Smartphone' stuff, just went to a Droid X less than two months
ago.  I have both the Mapquest and Google Maps apps loaded into the Droid
and have tried them, in fact just spent a few minutes messing with them
again.  I'm going to have to give them some more time but so far they don't
seem to provide the ease of use that my Garmin 7200 provides.  But I'm a
little slow in getting into the way the Droid interface works, there are
probably a whole bunch of features/options that I'm just not finding right
off.
Thanks again, very good info.
BTW, for Vanagon content, I use the GPS in my Westy all the time, I have a
car mount for the Droid to use in the Westy, and much of the GPS navigation
is to VW/Westy/WetWesties events.
