It's my opinion that our smart phones are getting too smart. I have always been a Garmin fan and find their products outstanding in every respect. I am not saying that smart phones are bad but there are some privacy concerns that should be considered.

I have always been a Garmin fan too and recently have tested several GPS apps on my iPhone 4 and find they work pretty darn good.. I have tested Waze, Scout and Google Maps. Waze is great for commuting and people report traffic, speed traps etc. plus Waze can see your speed and knows when there will be delays.. Cool stuff especially knowing where the speed traps are! I found Google maps to be very good and recently has been improved and no ads either.. Scout looks much like Garmin and works pretty good but not as wise as Garmin.. Bottom line you will eventually get to where you need to go on the cheap with your phone.. You definitely will need to power your phone or your battery will die quickly..

Waze requires a live data connection to work, if you go into a dead zone more than a few miles long you're out of luck. With Navigon all of the maps for the US are stored on the phone and thus no data connection is needed, but takes a couple GB of storage space.
