hey all, i just switched from the blackberry platform to the iphone 4 last month and im super happy with it (still struggling with the iphone and autocorrect is a double edged sword) but anyways, one of the best features i loved about blackberry was their maps and they pretty decent navigation options. and it came free with the phone, available for all countries ( i live in egypt )
so a week ago i had a trip and i didnt know how ot get there so i opened up maps and plotted the directions but then i had no idea how to use it for navigation ( if there even is an option for that)
in case you dont know, blackberry maps gives you the directions and when you start navigation it shows you as an arrow pointing to the direction you are moving in, the map is always oriented to make you look like you're going forward. when you take a turn, the map rotates with you to keep you straight.
also the map shifts views when you go off screen to get you back to the middle of the screen so you can keep seeing your route without having to touch the phone at all...
im wondering if there's the same thing for the iphone maps. if there is i dont know how to get it, if not then are there any other free apps that do this? ive already looked for a bit but alot of the free navigation apps are for the states or other popular countries.
any help would be appreciated. thanks
