Hope this all helps to things up
Yes, we tried that when we were on the Lower Zambezi, but to no avail (no cell service). Didn't get any GPS reading until we hit Lusaka. We also set the timezone up to where we were, still to no avail. It was quite frustrating, but at least I had my Blackberry as the "backup plan". BTW: This -> http://www.trip-journal.com/ is the app my missus uses...

I'll play with her iPhone this evening to see if I did something stupid (a definite possibility)... we are planning a trip next year to Kruger, so I'd like to have it going if possible.

Thanks for the advice...
OIC!
