Enlarge Phone GPS screen

[abrister]

I am using my Iphone as GPS but want to make the screen larger to view. Does anyone have a suggestion for a dash mounted magnifier that will allow me to moutn phone and view larger screen?

I like the idea of the standalone GPS with its built in maps of the whole country.
And keeping my phone in my pocket.

For those of you concerned with GPS using data, use an offline GPS app which relies on pre-loaded maps just like standalone. More info here. When taking this approach you probably want to use an Android device with cheap SD card expansion instead of paying Apple prices for extra storage.

I think that after a while, you'll find that you just listen to the instructions and rarely need to look at the screen.

If you do a search on Google to display output from Iphone to tablet or TV there are several ways of doing so, one being apple lightning to HDMI. Depending on what you already have around the house it might be in expensive.

Thanks for the reply. I have unlimited data with ATT and it doesn't really add that much to our family plan. I like the idea of being able to use the phone since I have it anyway and see no reason to buy a GPS when I have the same thing for free within the APPS. I think that I will just get a phone holder, mount to dash and listen to the instructions. Just wanted to see the screen larger but does't seem like that will work out.

I suppose it could be done with a TV screen and an Apple TV box to display iPhone screen. However, this would cost more than a good standalone GPS and probably not work reliably.

Get a standalone GPS, problem solved! No hassle with trying to make a work around functional.

I keep my phone GPS and location features turned off, until I need them. This saves some on data usage.

Possibly hook it up to a small digital TV via the HDMI port?

It's an Iphone 5C so it doesn't have mirroring to tablet. I thought that there was going to be something that was simple to mount to dash and would amplify the screen.

Does the iPhone have screen mirroring to tablet?

something like this?

[abrister]

Thank you. I guess I can't find exactly what I'm looking for there. I want to mount it to the dash, plug the phone in behind it or with it and have a larger screen than the 5C provides

Amazon shows a few.
