Wayfinder has updated their POI database. Check out my GPS page. Link at bottom.

Telenav has released 4.7 for the 8700.

Another update to the GPS page to add screen shots of Google Maps. Also noticed that they use both TeleAtlas and NAVTEQ

For those of you with the common rant of "I want to ring and vibrate at the same time"

This product for a mere $20 one time will give you RING and VIBRATE (boy that was fun to type). Other RING and VIBRATE toys cost much more.

Major update completed for my GPS Applications page. I have reviewed most of the major players. I predict Google will add GPS capabilities and that Garmin's new product will have an in route view which will compete with Telenav. Both use NAVTEQ as data sources so it's a GUI race between the two. I have added a comparison chart of exisitng apps.
