Today, out of 10 Cabby, at least 3 carry iPhone.
During our TVL training, STA train us use the Street Directory to search for Name & Location of Building.
LTA regulation, every Taxi MUST have a copy of Updated Street Directory or else they can fine us.
And it's true that the Street Directory is very useful to locate any Building or Apartment etc.
But if you have an iPhone with, why don’t try to make use of the latest technology.
Try to installed some GPS Application, the best is FOC.
Out of so many iPhone GPS Apps, most of them cost you a Bomb. But there are still some excellence FOC iPhone GPS Apps.

Oh, thanks for the info, google map still my best friend tho. And there are olso many taxi uncles taking galaxy tab and ipad2, not only iphone. Formerly, see many TD reading newspaper while waiting at AP or Q, now you can see ipads and tabs, even at nite can see the light from their pad or tab screen shining on their face like ghost driver...haha.
All these maps may help newbies and certainly some new spots in town. But, like many old birds here said, the brain is the best GPS, fast, quick and decisive. Not every pax allow the time to view your iphone for direction, the next word from them will be, "Hello, you know how to go or not, if not nevermind, i take the next one" and if keep looking at the map while driving, you are asking for trouble. Dependency on maps too much can retard your natural way of moving around, your learning and memory of books, end up one day if your iphone cannot works or some IPS servers breakdown, then he who depend on iphone gadget will find it very difficult to drive.
Iphone, ipad and tab for TD are use for many other entertainment, for GPS, might as well buy a GPS set or learn the road manually.

you talk so much so much like the iphone and its apps are godly but do you know you might have missed the main problem? all these need a good data connection, but becos so many people sign up iphone and andriod they need to sign plans with data lines. now almost all the telcos data connections are cockup. you can get a signal one second then lose it the next, then it appear again intermittently for the next 2-3 hours. like that, even if you use a SUPERMAN phone, it is still junk when the 'sky' dont cooperate. -
the best is still your mainframe between your ears. it will work rain or shine as long as you feed it. :)
