It's a shame the NA version isn't available in other stores. I would be interested in buying it for when I visit the US.
Has this version been pulled? I can't find it anywhere in the app store.
Yes it's gone. It was meant mainly as a demo to show you what would be available in the full version. It's gone because they want you to buy the real version now.
well that's just stupid! there are 2.99 i won't buy that don't have a trial.... 69.99 (and later 99 or whatever it's going up to) is a LOT of money to put out on faith alone! at least if i buy one in the store... i can return it if it sux!
oh well.....
I never assumed this was a pre-release teaser. I always thought it was 'trialwear,' a marketing release to let people try it out to see if it was adequate for their needs. I didn't think they'd pull it when the release came. Oh well.
The free app is really useful for showing how accurate the GPS is. I put it in my car and drove around and I found that the GPS is really accurate. It closely tracked my route and speed very well, indicating how good of a lock it has.
One problem with this app are the street names, though. It zooms out so far, I can't make them out, and the color of the names blends in too well with the background. Definitely not buying if they can't improve this(and add TTS).
