The GPS software is free but it comes with a monthly service fee of $9.99 per month.
The cost is expected to cover for production of the complicated program and get the licenses for the map used in the system. Looking at it long term, the monthly fee will make consumers spend more compared to buying a stand alone GPS.
According to AT&T, they are a looking to attract a big chunk of the market by providing a feature-packed application and guarantee their satisfaction. The software is based on the DNA of Telenav GPS which is already in use by competitors like T-Mobile G1 with the Google Android.
The iPhone OS 3.0, AT&T tries to improve the turn-by-turn nav system using the on-screen guide and voice directions. AT&T aims to make it very convenient for travelers and drivers by giving them an up to date map system at no cost to them.
Reviews around the net are favorable toward the features of the navigation system like the auto re-routing, voice prompting, on-screen controls, speech recognition, and places of interest. Consumers are finding the iPhone GPS system very easy to use.
Just to remind that the package does not come with a mounting device, iPhone owners must might need to get one elsewhere to mount properly on the dashboard while driving.Hmmmm...Is that another iPhone 3Gs Weak Points?
