The Maps App doesn't give turn by turn navigation, which is what most people want from a SatNav.

Personally speaking, my iPad and iPhone have GPS but I still use my standalone TomTom. In my car the ipad would block half my windscreen!

Depends on what iPad car mount u use !

I myself had a mount with a short "arm" that made me have up on the windscreen and blocked my veiw, later on i bought another one with a longer "arm" and now It's below my dashboard just above my stereo, works like a sharm, but this was back im may, now there are surely newer and better mounts.

And if your idevice Is jailbroken, download "FULLFORCE" from cydia, that force's all apps to fill the screen, works on almost all aps, more or less.

I uese MapQuest 4 Mobile...it's free, although is for iPhone so you have to put it in 2X, but it still looks great. And it speaks turn-by-turn streets! This is a great app that is FREE!

usbfever.com - USB Gadgets, iPhone / iPod / iPad Accessories

I bought from It/my from this site, It took me 4 days to get It to Sweden, and the shipment fee Is low, but as i said before It was back In may 2010 when i upgraded to the 3G model.

Now there are many more brands making car mounts wich Is better and proberbly In a stor near u, not that I dont like this one.

I definitely have to reccomend Navigon 1.7...I tried them all including copilot live hd...Navigon has the best interface and is the easiest to use. As far as a car mount, I made a custom one that uses an extra back cover/stand for the otterbox case mounted directly to a stereo mounting kit in my dash...I relocated my headunit *giggity* and just used the spot in the dash.
