Will existing iphone 3G users get turn by turn directions/compass features with 3.0 softare, or are those features only for iphone 3g S?

1 Answer

Answer :

The old 3G Doesn’t have the magnetometer that the new 3GS does. You definitely won’t get the compass feature, but I’m not sure about the turn-by-turn directions. It seems unlikely to me, since having your exact bearings is pretty vital to knowing which way to turn.
