[QUOTE="Quick_Draw_McGraw, post: 1832748, member: 3286"] There are a few reasons. 1. A dedicated GPS has a mount which means you can mount it on your dash and always have it visible out of the corner of your eye if you need to see it. 2. Your iPhone GPS is going to suck down its batteries so it would have to stay plugged in the whole time. (which probably isn't a big deal to most people) 3. For my personal taste I like having my iPhone to be used as a phone when I need it. I spend a lot of time on my phone talking on long road trips. 4. The GPS will just do a better job as a navigation device. Better routes, speaks out directions to you, more accurate instructions, more aware of where it actually is, better at announcing future actions, will easily show you how much time / miles are left on your trip, and they do handy things like tell you how close the next gas station is.
