iPad and iPod Users:
If you have an iPad please note that only the WiFi+Cellular models include a GPS. iPods do not have a GPS.
Note about Cell Phone Coverage and Data Roaming:
The Tour Guide works without cell phone coverage. The GPS has clinical precision everywhere on Maui. International customers can turn off data roaming. A network connection is used, when available, to update the map, but this map can be cached before heading out on a trip.
REVIEWS FEEDBACK:
A couple reviewers note problems with the GPS/map not working. This happens when you deny the App access to use your current location, which turns off the GPS. Version 1.2 includes warnings to make it clear when your GPS is turned off.
FYI, the Tour Guide discusses virtually every attraction on the Hana highway and will recommend which ones to see and which to skip (since most only have 1 day for Hana). Many attractions are very difficult to find. Thats where the GPS Tour Guide shines!
