Throughout Phoenix, good 3G. Twenty minutes north of Phoenix all the way to Flagstaff? Same as in New Mexico. Phone says I have full bars of edge, but instead I really have nothing. This time, MotionX seems to have done its caching better, because the lack of signal didn’t cause it to go wacko as often. I think what’s happening with that is actually a loss of GPS accuracy, which results in MotionX thinking it needs to remap the trip, which then leads to it realizing it doesn’t have a network connection, which leads to an error message.
I can’t blame bad GPS signal on AT&T, so I guess that one is Apple’s fault. In Flagstaff, I went back to 3G briefly. Then, all the way north of Flagstaff and into Grand Canyon Village, I get either weak Edge or nothing at all. Even here in the hotel, just a few seconds south of the entrance to the park, I get absolutely nothing. Thank goodness for free WiFi. Tomorrow we’ll see what happens between here and LA.
