Magellan updates RoadMate for iPhone with Touch support

12/23, 11:25am

GPS app also gains simulation mode, better music

Magellan has updated RoadMate for the iPhone to v1.10, adding several new features. The app handles turn-by-turn navigation, with extra help in the form of voice guidance, lane directions and 3D landmarks. New in the update is support for the iPod touch, though only the second-generation player, rather than the first- or third-gen models. Touches must also be paired with the Premium Car Kit, since they lack a built-in GPS receiver.
