Hi Jen and welcome, you can set up "Favorite" search locations within Google maps, once you select one of your favorite locations, your map will load.I think one of the features i would use most are the google maps, since i get lost consantly. i wonder if you can save a few maps (for me, say a map of boston) on the iPhone harddrive so I can access it even when I'm not near wifi.
I wonder if you could save directions with the maps. ala mapquest has turn description as well as show you your path.
I don't think it will be. I imagine the data it is transmitting will be very small and that they're doing some efficient things with that widget.I hope that loading the maps up over EDGE isn't as slow as the dickens![]()
"Save" meaning... as a printout? Screen capture? Weblink? All three are possible. I'm sure the iPhone will have cache, so if you leave for a trip (where you won't have wifi or edge) just keep that screen with directions up.Google maps does show turn by turn directions, but I don't think you can "save" them

I have used this feature several times in last few days, and it loads fine for me. I am in the Houston area, I think ATT Edge reception is pretty good here. At least for me but I am more of the "I am excited just to have the phone" than concerned with what it is not doing. That is just me. Oh, don't get me wrong, I anxiously wait for the upgrades that I trust will be coming as soon as Apple is comfortable with them.I hope that loading the maps up over EDGE isn't as slow as the dickens![]()
I went to The Woodlands Store - they basically just stated that when you have places you go to/or are thinking about going, put in your contacts and you can bring the contacts address up in maps. That was what I got out of it. Sorry if this is not what you are asking.Yep, I know what you mean. At least be able to BOOKMARK the map view like you can bookmark an address.
I don't think so - I personally have tried everything.
