Dear Friends,
I am (Still) newbie in Apple and Mac world. So forgive me if my this question(s) and help search sound silly, but I have to ask.
I already searched in the search engine but couldn't find anything.
Here is what I need: Receiving GPS signals in my chart (Map / Navigation) application without being dependent to internet and any mobile service provider.
I had very much hard time in Manila while trying to find an address where I had to attend a meeting and seminar. I had a driver, but the Maps application didn't work, and eventually I missed both of the important events.
I must be able to type the address where I have to go, and the application must direct me from my current location to the destination address, just like Maps app. With the GPS signal, I must be able to reach the destination "Without needing mobile coverage or internet".
The question is; is there any "Reliable" GPS and Navigation app (Either free or paid) that I can use anywhere in the world, either on the land or the sea? I will be back on the ships working as Captain soon. So, I need same (Such) program to use to draw my course on the oceans.
The "Compass" application's GPS reception generally works. But when I hook it into my computer (Either PC or Mac) the navigation software in the computer doesn't pick up those signals from IPhone. If this works, I won't need any other mobile (IPhone) app.
I will be grateful for any information. Thanks in advance . . .
