Chitchat Which is your preferred gps

[hollowman]

Is it better to use a dedicated gps or mobile phone apps like google map waze etc ?
I only know mobilephone gps will need to utilise data whereas gps device doesn't need. Also what apps does all these gps device uses ? Which one is most accurate form of navigation ?

Any advice is appreciated.

I tried tested a little of google map and waze but was not driving so it was not a good test at all. Google map is quiet whereas waze is interactive. Overall is google map accurate in calculating the shortest source and destination ?

I also heard that mobilephone gps are subjected to few factors for the reception whereas dedicated gps device use direct satellite so it is more stable. Can anyone confirm this is true ?

Waze is the best bec the routes and routing are more accurate than maps. Nobody uses dedicated GPS like Garmin nowadays, they can't compete with internet based phone apps which has sharing capabilities of traffic, user inputs, advertisements, etc. The phone apps like maps and Waze need both GPS and mobile data connectivity to function - so that the sharing of info and global positioning can be achieved.

I can't tell the difference between mobile phone GPS reception and Garmin GPS reception. Both are the same. I think the phone GPS reception tends to spoil faster bec it heats up more with all the other apps. Whereas a Garmin GPS only has 1 function and no apps.

Thanks for the tips. I'm feeling excited finally collecting my dream car soon and contemplating whether to buy a gps or a cheap phone and I have never used a gps before Sg roads have changed dramatically over the last 20 years when i first started driving.

If it's for driving, my friends swear by Garmin.

However, if you're a newbie driver, getting lost is part of the fun. And the learning experience.

Relying too much on the GPS device is like relying too much on the calculator for simple calculations.

You better be sure that the internet connection is good and stable.

Yes. Look you are driving. Why do you want an Interactive GPS while you are driving? That's distracted driving!

Google maps just tells you what you need. Even says there is congestion on highway ahead. Detour to save 6 min. Accept?

Excellent. Plus you already have a smartphone presumably and download of the app is free.

Maybe for sinkies the best GPS is the one that is going to be in every single car from the lamborghinis and porsches to the proton.

The ERP GPS! Lol! Suckers!
