Is the iphone good enough for driving instructions across the country?
My boyfriend wants to just use his iphone GPS app to drive from Alaska to Eugene OR since we are moving. Is this a good idea? Should he get a real GPS for the car? Will it be more reliable?

I have the iPhone and I think it’s hard enough to understand the instructions driving across town with the maps service.
I don’t think it’s a good idea. You can get GPS systems fairly cheap now a days. The problem with the iPhone GPS is that it is not turn by turn directions with voice. It does not re-route you if you miss a turn. It is as if you were following directions printed out from mapquest.com. With an actual GPS, it will tell when to turn, if you miss a turn and now they will re-route you to a quicker route if there is heavy traffic. The iphone simply shows instructions and that’s it. You could go down the wrong road for miles before you relize your not on the right road. Where as an actual GPS won’t let that happen.
Good luck!

Real GPS would be much more reliable.
iPhones are really expensive nowadays, but thankfully there are clones! you will find affordable PDA with fast delivery worldwide, 1 year warranty.
