Disadvantages of using the Iphone as your Standalone GPS unit in a car

1. There are relatively few Iphone car mounts that are available so you can position your iphone in your car comfortably. The mounts we have tried were ungainly and inelegant.

2. Using voice prompts or voice recognition was not the answer, sadly the Iphone 3G built in speaker is too weak to be used comfortably. It's OK to use the Iphone 3G for calling if you have it on your desktop. However, if you are driving a car with a noisy engine, the spoken instructions to be heard does not offer accurate speech recognition.

3. Since the Iphone 3G needs a constant supply of power, which you have to run continuously, you will notice a significant power drain. This is why you need to consider either a standalone sat navigation system or an Android powered smart phone like the DROID X or DROID II. To learn more about either of these 2 phones please click on the images below or the click here link near the top of the page.



Advantages of using the DROID Google Phone as your Standalone GPS unit in a car

1. There screen on the DROID X is huge: 5 x 2.6 x 0.4 inches. Much larger than the Iphone. You will love the extra space.

2. Cost factor: the DROID X and Droid II offers free turn by turn directions but the Iphone does not. You have to pay upward $50 to $100 for a half decent navigation app. The DROID X integrates Google Latitude and Buzz.
