G-Map Adds Real-Time Traffic to iPhone GPS App
G-Map_iPhone_GPS.jpgBack in July, TeleNav and AT&T released the
first iPhone GPS app with real-time traffic, AT&T Navigator. I
tested that app extensively, and covered its real-time traffic
capabilities in my review. It's also arguably the most prominent
iPhone GPS app due to its AT&T endorsement.  That hasn't stopped
G-Map from issuing a press release today--three months later--
with a headline claiming it has released the "First Real-Time
Traffic iPhone GPS app." Aside from that minor detail, G-Map 2.0
offers several interesting features, including color coded roads
sorted by traffic--this part actually is first, though it's less
significant--along with AI routing, sharp UI graphics, and a
truck mode that eliminates cars-only routes.  G-Map 2.0 requires
iPhone OS 3.0 and is now available in the App Store. It appears
to cost $39.99, although you get either one free month (as per
the press release) or one free year (as per the App Store) of
traffic service. There
