I get a message saying I need to upgrade to iOS6! (Ahhh!!).
I have iPhone 4, 32GB, iOS 5.1.1 (I also have iPad Mini iOS 6.1.2). Without going into a different topic tangent, there's ABSOLUTELY no way I'm going to upgrade my iPhone 4 to iOS6 because I HATE the AppleMap (extraordinarily inaccurate) and I rely on the native GoogleMap app.
Anyways, my compliments to the developers for putting together an absolutely fabulous app. I'm using it daily on the iPad. When my iPhone 4 dies (in a couple of years?), I'll be sure to get the Marvin for iPhone (hey, unless you guys want to tweak the code to make it work on iOS 5? No, I didn't think so *sniff* *tears*).
Cheers.

You know there is a Google Map app available, right? My first iPhone is the 5 -- currently running 6.1.4 -- so I've never used any earlier maps and have no idea if the updated version fixes your concern.
I do have Google Map on my home screen instead of the Apple one and I use that when I'm just looking at a map, not driving somewhere. For driving directions, I use
Waze because I like it's traffic alerts and automatic re-routing.
Back on topic, I don't have access to itunes here, but I'm looking forward to checking Marvin out as soon as I can. I'm using Bluefire now and didn't know about Marvin until the forum popped up. It looks like I've been missing out!
