Craig

Craig MotionX, latest version of GPS, having a problem with downloading maps. iPhone 3gs, 16gb. According to iPhone and iTunes, I have 259mb available on my device. I'm trying to download maps for a very small area -- according to GPS the used space is 13.9gb, tile set is 264.0kb (not mb), total usage will be 14.3gb. Cal...culation seems wrong because 13.9gb + 264kb != 14.3gb. Then when I try to proceed, I get an error that I have insufficient disk space, please remove some data or media (even though I have 259mb free and the 22 tiles in the set only take up 264kb).

Kent Nickell Just installed MotionX-GPS Drive on my 3GS. Love it so far, it is a awesome value!! One question...is there a way to set the Current Location so I can simulate a trip (and cache the maps) starting from a location other than where I am at the moment? I have a trip coming up and don't think the coverage is going to be... too great once I get out of the area of the airport. Thanks!!

MotionX-GPS Drive does not yet support a route from a location other than your current location. We are considering adding this feature in a future update as we realize this is useful when planning a trip in advance. We'll let the rest of the team know you're interested in this feature as well. Thank you for your feedback, great to hear you're enjoying the application.

Hi Paul, unfortunately we are not set up to post to a page other than your Wall. Perhaps this is something we can look into further to see what the possibilities are. Thank you for the suggestion.

Dimitris Giannakidis Happy new year everybody!
It s been 2 weeks I m using the application and I m pretty satisfied
As a recommendation, I would like to be able to check myself the traffic on the route I m currently on or on a selected route-area on the map, we should also be able to choose from alternative routes or change the recommended r...oute with what we already know that is the prefered way to go somewhere, phone should also be integrated so we don t have to turn GPS off if we want to make a call. I m not sure if we can see our speed somehow, I haven t seen that anywhere. And at the end, it would be a good idea to be able to estimate gas consumption and estimated cost for a route predictively before starting or/and at the end after reaching destination. I hope we see all those soon!
Keep on good work, it much appreciated!

Thanks for the feedback; these are all good ideas and we do have some of these on our roadmap, specifically around providing more user control around routing... You can see your current speed in the current version on the Compass page... Re: making a call while using the app, unfortunately this is a limitation of the iPhone OS -- apps cannot run in the background while making a call... Thank you for all the great feedback.

Tony Farrow MotionX - GPS - Using the App for DownHill Skiing. Has great features to show where you went over the MTN. Additional features for Ski - total vertical skied for the track; total # of runs skied (increment runs when vertical increases by 150m (configurable)). Definitely can replaces ski watch with those two features.

Curt Schemmel Love the Drive app. Did the one-month live voice trial and bought a full year package the day the trial expired - thanks!

One suggestion: would it be possible to provide an option within the app to switch between the internal speaker & the bluetooth speaker connection (similar to what the iPod app does?)

with my setup, my iPhone connects to my car stereo via bluetooth. Currently if I'm in 'radio' mode on my stereo & a direction is spoken, the stereo switches to the bluetooth connection, states the direction, waits 15 seconds for the bluetooth to timeout, and switches back to the radio. it's distracting.

There's a workaround, but it's awkward. ... See MoreStart playing a song in the iPod app, switch to the internal speaker, pause the song. Then start up GPS Drive. It'll use the internal speaker instead. I'd like to see the ability to switch back & forth right inside the GPS Drive app itself if possible :)

Does the Bluetooth audio control added to the Setup page of v2.7 meet your needs? Please install the 2.7 update (if you haven't already) and try it out next time you are in your car and let us know.

ah-HAH! Ask and ye shall receive!!

I had already downloaded 2.7, but I hadn't used it in the car yet (and the BT option doesn't show up unless you're actually connected via bluetooth, of course) - so I didn't see it. That's EXACTLY what I was asking for - thanks :)

Steve Froeber Hey, great job guys! This is the kind of quality and utility that every app should strive for! I bought both GPS and Drive, and they both work exactly as expected. The facebook sharing is really fun also.

Marc Gaerlan Love Drive, and have GPS (Sport) also. Constantly amazed at the fire you guys have for updating/improving your apps.

I came across a problem recently that I wonder if there's a fix for: I needed to use Drive, but was in an area where there was no data available. Could Drive calculate a route without data, just using the cached maps?

MotionX-GPS
MotionX-GPS
Good question. A network connection is required to calculate routes. POI search, routing, and maps are all pulled over the network, but maps along your route are the only component that are cached and available offline.

Jaime is there a way to see the length/duration of a trip once you put in the address? or am I missing where to find that in the app?

Jaime: Total distance, ETA, etc, show up in the upper right corner once a trip has been calculated. Is that what you needed?

Colby

Colby I'm Canadian and will be traveling to the US soon but don't want to use my data plan (huge fees for data roaming). Is there any way to save/cache map tiles for certain areas (like you can do with your other GPS app)? In other words, will it work without a network connection?

Marc Gaerlan
Marc Gaerlan
Colby: I've used the trip simulation feature to cache maps when I knew there would be no data some areas along the way. Would that help you?

MotionX-GPS
Yes, the simulate trip feature works well for caching maps along your route. However you need a network connection to calculate routes (and re-routing if you drive off-course) and for search if you need it.

Jeffrey C Blohm I love your MotionX-GPS Drive. If I may make a request for an addition to your map page. Could you please add the current speed in the lover left hand conner. Thius would be very helpfull so I do not have to try changing to the compass page to double check my speed when going thur these little towns with speed traps.

Thanks
