I downloaded this the other day as it seemed a bargain at £10 for a satnav.
I see they have now made it £4.99. Now that really is a bargain.
It's a bit shocking considering they said the previous price was a limited time discount! But hey, I am still not going to complain.
It worked pretty well for me, apart from the fact that the Volvo insists on treating the phone as an iPod when connected and I had to listen to whatever music was on it just to get the announcements over the car speakers!
I had to connect it to get the thing to remain on charge; without that the battery drains pretty quickly. I was half tempted to use a simple USB lighter socket charger instead of the built in car USB. Apart from that (which is the car's fault) the NDrive software worked pretty well.

Make sure you get a charger that actually charges your phone - there are two types, one works, the other doesn't - if you do a forum search you'll see the discussion and Zero's explanation....(where's jbif when you want him ?!)

Stuffed in the leaking oil well I hope.
For a brief precis, USB chargers for Iphone need to provide a +ve voltage (not much) on the data pin, before the Iphone (and some Ipods) will accept a charge. Most cheap USB chargers dont provide this voltage on the data pin.

By chance we bought a cheap pattern mains adaptor in the US from a chain drug store - works perfect in the Mrs' brand new iTOUCH whereas neither Bose docking stations will or the original Apple mains adapter won't

Well, we had one each, seems a shame to get rid of one ! (One in kitchen and t'other in Bedroom !)

Going for Bose is a bit like being a born-again Christian or the one who stands up at the AA meeting isn't it?
Ducks below parapet again...

Possibly ! I did swear an oath never to buy anything from them after buying some shoddily made headphones and when they threatened me over an alleged unpaid bill....but it has got a reasonable enough sound for light listening.

Anyone else tried NDrive satnav for iPhone? - R.P.
