New Samsung Ad Targets iPhone's Lack of Built-in Turn-by-Turn Directions

I dunno man. I kinda like the idea of SD cards. Pop it in, take it out, move files from devices. And when you sell your phone or upgrade, you just take it out and put it in another... Yep. Useless SD cards.

I've bought 5 SD cards in my life. I've lost 4 of them. To me, they're just 3 1/2" floppies designed to disappear more easily.

This ad is pointless. The maps app could use improvement but it's not like I can't just go to the app store and buy a gps app for a couple bucks. Big deal.

Its not pointless. Apple might to decide to cut a deal with someone to provide the missing app so to speak. Thanks Samsung!

I suggest you read what I wrote earlier in this tread, since you clearly passed it over I nicely quoted it for you in this thread. It kind of kills your argument. Top it off you go insulting and proving my point.

People who use voice guided with out generally looking over the direction is the incorrect way to use GPS. Better way is to use get the direction look it over and then let the voice to help alert you when upcoming turns are and for it to readjust for when you miss a turn/exit. On top of that it is safer because it lets you keep your eyes and mind on the road instead of trying to read the direction and figure out when your next turn is.

Just found the notification that I was quoted, so this is old, but I'll respond.

I can look at a map, read the names of the streets, and not have to look at my phone again until I'm at the location.

Capeesh?
