Replica Louis Vuitton Handbags After a long day of shooting in Colorado's San Juan Mountains, I was heading back into Durango, starving. Where to go and how to get there? My buddy's car didn't have GPS, so I pulled out my iPhone and fired up Navigon's GPS application. Within minutes, voice commands were guiding us toward Zia Taqueria, home to killer fish tacos. As we pulled into the parking lot it struck me that, without a second thought, I'd been party to a sea change in personal navigation. cnvnclkv

Replica Louis Vuitton Wallets Just two years ago, sales of portable auto GPS units were growing almost exponentially, but in the past six months, a sadaknkj11 boom in navigational software has stolen the show. Every major smartphone platform now has at least one GPS application, sometimes more. In its first two months alone, TomTom's iPhone app was downloaded 80,000 times at $100 a pop. Google's highly anticipated Navigation app, which hit the market in November, promises to reshape the category completely it's free. Indeed, market research firm Forrester predicts that GPS software will outpace dedicated devices within three years.

And after testing all the major phone platforms, I'm convinced that full featured mobile applications like those from Navigon, TeleNav, TomTom, and Magellan are equal to their stand alone units. They have exactly the navigation functions you need including spoken directions, traffic reports, and even simulated views of upcoming intersections without the extraneous junk that device makers like to cram in. Why bother with anything else.
