Maps/Directions while not on WiFi

I will say that it will work when you have no service with the iPhone, so I would think that it would work on the iPod touch.

yes, you can still read the directions in the list. you can also move forward and backward in the list

 

try this

so what eric said is true. the list mode is one way to go, that isn't dependent on wifi after you've gotten the directions loaded. the other thing that I've found is that if you "preload" the map portion (ie, click on route and step through the directions on the map), those piece of the map will remain cached (not sure for how long) and you should at least be able to see the key regions for each turn/exit/etc.

hope that helps!

 

It is funny that nobody has released a map storage app. You know, say where you live and it downloads/stores all local street maps.

I'd pay $5 for that!

 

There was an Offline Map Storage program that was on Installer.

 

And if you could just download via broadband a gig or so of maps and POIs for the area you are in then sync it to the iPod Touch, you'd have maps without needing wi-fi.
