Using the iPhone as a GPS
Uscancares.org – The existence of the convergence is very useful for us, where we only carry one device instead of carrying a variety of tools, in this case is a GPS.
With the TomTom Navigator application on our iPhone, would not be bothered to carry cell phones and GPS separately, but we need to note also that the Tomtom Navigator application is worth U.S. $ 100, if we are going to use the iPhone as a GPS device on our vehicles, we need at least three additional devices, including; mounting (mounting) to hold the iPhone, extra charger and external antenna.
In addition, we must accept the fact that the iPhone is a phone as a communication tool we both voice and SMS, so be prepared to interfere with phone calls, SMS or e-mail that goes when we’re making it as a GPS device, and that means it will happen interruptions when we are using the iPhone GPS.
It would be easier, if we use a GPS device on their own, with GPS prices ranging from $ 200 that we already have a Garmin Nuvi GPS package that ready for use complete with mount, external antenna and map. This GPS even has voice guidance feature (such as voice messaging direction) that make it easier for us while we drove, so we should not lose sight of the street. Especially when some American states currently ban cell phone use while driving a car, it seems that GPS ‘GPS really’ is that inexpensive and intelligent solution rather than using the iPhone as a GPS device.
