Interesting that Garmin let Telstra Australia slip through the net with the iphone v. android thing. I know i'm still off subject but i'll shut up about it after this: Telstra owns WhereiS, a huge map supplier to Garmin in Oz. Draw your own conclusions as to why Telstra has an android app for garmin but no one else in the world has. Garmin also uses Navteq (now a nokia co. as you'd know) but not as much. The WhereiS maps are not as good as Navteq in my experience. I prefer to use the Navteq truckies map, even the older one's are more up to date than the current WhereiS in a lot of cases. For instance, I live in a semi-rural area, in a cul-de-sac street that has existed for over 50 years. When i enter it, WhereiS thinks i'm off-road.... but not Navteq. I should stop bagging Telstra, not just 'coz i'm a shareholder but because they have far reaching tenticles.....oh, dear me... i think that's them at the door now.. aggghhh...
