The only catch with needing data is if your lost and don’t have cell signal. At least you’ll have the compass if your using a 3gs.

Well, yes. That isn’t a big deal for me though because I almost always have a data connection.

I love xGPS since it uses Google Maps. I can’t wait for the jailbreak software to be compatible with the 3GS. I was waiting until 3.1 to jailbreak my 3GS (I had previously jailbroken my 3G) because I knew that it would be released shortly after 3.0.

@Pieter iPhones are required to have a data contract.

That’s one smart developer! Beat the system!

Isn’t it useless without a data connection? I mean, how is this app gonna consult Google Maps otherwise?

For jailbroken iPhones there’s an app in Cydia called xGPS which provides turn-by-turn navigation with voice, and it’s free. I haven’t used it much so I don’t know how good it is, but hey, it’s free.

Good catch. Have been looking GPS App for long.
Its interesting there are so many good but not very popular apps there.

Found a interesting App called Click2Call which basically uses phonebook and then dials Vonage VOIP.

Vonage VOIP is very useful and cheap if you make international Calls 30$ inclusive taxes 5000 minutes of calling – to landlines and cell phones to 40 plus countries.

Skype is also good and SkypeIN is very useful.

If possible can you share your experience with VOIP or review the Existing ones.
