I got this app the other day. Thought it would be a neat time killer to play with while being a passenger in somebodies car but it totally sucks.

It needs internet connection to activate? WTH its GPS I dont need to pay for internet to use free gps.

I have a $20 USB GPS device I use on my netbook and while using microsoft streets & trips 2009 it gives me my speed and a compass too and I never needed internet connections for that to work so I know its possible.
