[QUOTE="rfulcher, post: 1055064, member: 5085"] There are a few apps for the iPhone 4, 4s, and 5 that loads all of the maps in memory, over 5 gigs worth of maps. Garmin makes an app, Garmin U.S.A., that I like a lot. I use my iPhone connected via bluetooth for music, podcasts, and GPS. The GPS app is a power hog so it needs to be charged while you ride on a trip. If it rains I can use a waterproof case or run it in the tank bag. I can use my bluetooth headset to control the music but not the GPS app. Gloves don't work on the iPhone touch screen, bummer. It is my main GPS for point to point travel. However I don't think it will do custom routes and lots of my trips are on small backroads or with routes that map on my computer and download. If my GPS didn't do custom routes the iphone would be my main GPS. The Garmin GPS app, Garmin U.S.A., cost $39 so it is not cheap. I still use my Garmin 276c for my main GPS. [/QUOTE]
