1375374 2014-05-21 05:41:00 I've even used my Nexus 7 to navigate as an experiment :) Bigger screen is nice but it sucked the battery dry really quick and had to be tethered to my phone anyway so now I just use that. dugimodo (138)
1375375 2014-05-21 07:25:00 I use my S3 mini all the time and I also use it with an app called Strava to record my biking and walking Km's which I can then share with mates worldwide gary67 (56)

I've just read some articles and I think I might just get a dedicated GPS for the car, as they are under $200 and designed to work in the car.

I tend to forget where I am going and a John Cleese voice would be great!

1375377 2014-05-21 10:56:00 Oh well we can forget the debate that my LG L9 is better than the other suggestions ... :-) BTW what sort of 3G phone do you have that doesn't run maps? .. and now start a debate on in car GPS.
We have a TomTom and very happy.
Just beware of leaving your new GPS in the sun next summer as they become very fragile

1375378 2014-05-21 11:39:00 Why only Samsung? If you just need it for GPS there are better phones for not silly money out there. The Nexus 5 is $499 at Warehouse Stationary at the moment, or the Motorola G can be had for less.

Well, only Samsung make "Samrtpohones", the others haven't quiet decoded that yet. ;)
