Iphone/Ipod touch apps

I was about to buy a Map app for Mexico, but I am having doubts on which one to purchase or even if they are worth it. I am mainly looking for one that will help in Merida and Yucatan. Not sure if anyone could offer any suggestions. Thanks!

I find driving in Merida is a challenge even with a good map, but I'd also be interested in an app of that area if there is one out there.

Doesn't Guia Roji have a good map of that city?

I'll have to look when I get home but I think I ordered one for Merida and it wasn't very good. Not for city streets anyway. I have the state wide Guia Roji and that is great.

I use the Maps app a lot. It comes with the iPod and iPhone. It's not a GPS, but will give you turn by turn directions. I use it a lot.

But....the built in Maps application on an iPhone, iPod, etc...are GPS enabled. As long as you have an Internet connection that is. Google Maps is better than any of Guía Roji's offerings.

I have an iPhone 3GS, and I use the Maps app that came with the phone almost every day to navigate Merida. So far, I've found that it also works in smaller towns, such as Izamal, and as long as I have a connection, it shows me where I am on the highway between towns. If I were going deep into the boonies, I would take a paper map as a backup.

it is a way to use "maps" app without internet connection, you just need a jailbroken iphone, and pre-downloaded maps cache.

I just take a screen shot of where I want to go. It gets saved to the camera roll.

I use Google Maps for anything outside of Mexico City. The other apps out there are pretty much useless outside of the major cities.
