[nfbcs] Devices for GPS

[Buddy Brannan]

Hi,

The only app I’m aware of that will do anything useful with GPS and no data plan is Navigon. Even if you find an external GPS receiver, which may improve on accuracy, it won’t do any good if the app that runs it requires data, and most of them do. Tom-tom might also not require data, but I think Navigon is a bit friendlier.

This, however, should work when there is no data plan attached to the device, i.e. those that belong to a school, or iPads. Any ideas?
