I mean absolutely no disrespect to anyone for using whatever works for them. We all have our preferences.I am just wondering if I am missing some info that I could get with a GPS that I am not getting with my Droid phone.

I travel about 26 weeks out of the year for work and use my iPhone for a GPS every where I go. Even internationally and it works just fine. As mentioned it will drain the battery quicker. I just make sure it's plugged into the car for constant charging and never have an issue. Now if you have Verizon and you get a phone call wihile using it as a GPS the GPS function will stall out until the phone called ends. With AT&T they permit two simultaniuos signals so the GPS function continues to work when a phone call comes in.
