I do have an Android smart phone. But, my contract is up and I am seriously thinking about changing to an iPhone. Could I use my iPad or an iPhone with Google Navigation?
If I am alone on a trip I find using the smartphone awkward. The GPS is also easier for my 89 year old mother if she is with me. She is good with her computer but, not with my smart phone or iPad. And, she likes maps! Go figure?!?
When I am traveling alone, I like the info the TomTom gives me on the main screen. It gives you total miles and time to go, arrival time and the same info on what you have already traveled. And, more. It was easy to see with a quick glance.
It looks like I have to switch screens to see most of that same info on the Garmin. It was awkward.
