the Car GPS is in the past. People will be using there cell phones now for GPS use. I have doubts. Any comments? |

It's currently illegal (in my state, at least) to use a hand held device as a GPS. It must be in a cradle or fitted to the dashboard of the vehicle.
So unless people are prepared to buy a cradle for their mobile they risk fines. Cheers, |

The GPS industry is clearly seeing lower sales with the advent of all the map Apps for smartphones, but I think GPS will survive. If you need to use your phone you will not be able to follow or listen to voice guided directions from whatever App you're using on the phone.
It's a pain in the a$$ when following the phones GPS and then someone calls you. You get one choice or the other - listen to GPS or answer the call. I have a GPS and will keep it, in addition to Google Maps on my Droid X2. Both serve their own purpose, yet each offers its own features and has its own value. |

Highly doubt it, as I have latest HTC Desire phone and is a pain in the bum to use as gps compared to actually using a dedicated GPS.
Screen is too small and keyboard (on screen) difficult to use even when stationary, compared to a Garmin 765. |
