I have a colorado 400T and have been doing everything with it in native Mac OSX. I just ordered city navigator Nt NA for Mac. I cant wait to get that and play with it.

What do they mean by the speculation that the next iPhone will have "proper" GPS? I'm guessing that they mean GPS functionality that's accessible for user services, rather than just the rudimentary GPS capability that's built into cell phones for emergency locating. Is that a reasonable guess?

My guess is that they mean "actual" GPS instead of the cell-tower based "locate me" function that is currently on the iPhone. Some folks are improperly referring to that as "GPS" in the sense that many people believe that GPS = any service that tells you where you are.

 

I won't be upgrading my iPhone for a while, but I am interested to see where this goes as I can easily imagine an iPhone-optimized site where you could find a cache, add it to your GPS, read all the information, and navigate to it all from the iPhone when the mood hit you.
