    My iPhone arrived about a week ago. At first I was completely intimidated but am slowly getting to be not so afraid of it. Plus, a friend at church has one and has been kind enough to get me started. She is ready to show me a lot of stuff, however, I told her I needed to get used to what she showed me first before I add too much knowledge. Funny, I said a few years ago I was not going to keep up with technology as fast as it is coming available but I find it irresistible!

    I am curious to know which GPS app do y'all use?

    I can see an iPad in the future.

    Apple GPS is famously bad. I wouldn't rely on it too much.

    My dd's iPhone was stolen this morning. You probably want to download the FindYourPhone app. We didn't, and now I wish we had. The Apple store said they still may be able to track the phone using my dd's Apple ID and password, as the newer phones have a built-in tracking system.

    So far Apple Maps has worked just fine for me in several parts of the country. I think they have improved it from when it first came out. My backup is the free Mapquest app (it speaks the directions also) but I really don't use it anymore.

    Aside from the FindMyPhone app, be sure to register your iPhone at iCloud.com . We didn't do that, so we couldn't track the phone that way either.

    I didn't have any luck, I tried the iPhone 4 and 4S. I also don't like the fact that you can't insert a SD card to have additional memory. What you buy is what you get. I ended up getting rid of them and getting the Samsung 3 and love it. So easy to use.

    From my past experiences, most of the phones GPS don't work as well as the ones built into our cars. I never use that app since I have the one in my car.
