I'll tell my buddy he's just an idjut! Funny cause he's #2 IT guy at a Ivy League University! :rofl:

I've never used nor plan to own a smart phone. I hate electronic leashes.

 

I'll go dig up my iPhone a little later and post what GPS apps I have on it. I believe it comes with a mapping app pre-installed, but can't remember for sure
I wouldn't call him an idiot, either lol.... I've had my iPhone for about 5 or 6 months and am still learning about it

 

He's had them since day 1, work supplied and thinks apple are gods so I'm gonna keep drilling him. If they were so great why did they have to got linux?

I'll forward him the app links.

 

It's people that you have to worry about. Sure you'll meet some nice people along the way but I also had some near misses in the cities.

I was 26 years old on a '79 CB750F. I left Daytona later than I wanted because I wanted to ride up and down the beach a few times. After riding in pounding rain I pulled into a closed service station on the outskirts of town to take rain gear off (A stupid two piece hunting suite that I had to wear the pants backwards and sit on the fly to keep form getting even wetter [only $16]). Within a minute I was being circled by two guys on bikes. They turned out to be friendly but told me I was in a very, very, very bad spot. They pointed into the woods and said we were being watched and needed to leave ASAP. They stayed with me as I hustled and got me out of there alive.

Also while in Atlanta, I stopped at a place for something to eat. There was some guy trying to pick up a rather ugly lady. There were some other interesting people in there. When the male cook came over to me and started to sing to me I turned and noticed, "HEY That's No Lady". Yep! I was in the wrong place again. I picked up and moved down the road.

In Atlantic City, NJ I had to wait for service stations to open as I need fuel. I rode down to the board walk. There were three guys sitting on a porch, 6:30 AM, as I rolled by and stopped at a light. As I sat up to stretch, I noticed them in my left mirror, single file, crouched down, sneaking up behind me. I dropped the bike in gear and at WOT dumped the clutch and went through the red light without looking. They were grabbing for me when I launched.

Be careful of were you stop. If you are camping, make sure you are not visible from the road.

 

I don't foresee any camping on an Iron Butt ride, TBT, but I'd be well prepared for any trouble if/when I stop to take a nap....

 

These are the mapping/GPS apps I have on my iPhone. To tell the truth, I can't remember which ones were free and which ones I had to pay a few bucks for
Google Latitude
ORV Trails
ATV Escape
GPS Kit
Trimble Outdoors Navigator Pro
Greatest Road
I know Greatest Road costs $, but I got in on it while it was free.
Then there is the mapping program that comes on the iPhone....

 

I found this while looking up your list. $.99 and looks good and great reviews.

App Store - MotionX GPS Drive

 

Ya, I have that one on my iPad....
Greatest Road looks good too, just haven't really had a chance to try it out.

 

Do you get lost alot!

How many do you need.

 

I'm a truck driver.... We don't get lost
I got my iPad so I wouldn't have to pack my laptop back and forth to work, and I try some apps out on my iPad before I get them on my iPhone
