iPhone GPS
Just one year ago, iPhone users can only dream about their favorite device with GPS. GPS is such a thing that many people definitely need and are even addicted to it. It gathers the information from many satellites and then gives you out the route to the place you want to go to. Most of people associate GPS with a loud screaming thing that tells you where to turn every 5 sec. Many of us find it annoying, but this is what GPS is. Or was, until it was presented as a new iPhone 3G accessory.
Yes, the thing that differs iPhone GPS from all other GPS devices is that it does not speak out loud where you have to go. Actually, this Apple 3G accessory does not speak at all. But does not let this fact to beat you off track. iPhone GPS is still GPS – global positioning system and it provides you with a map and detailed route. Does not speak, though. It means that no more annoying turn by turn voice directions and “You missed the turn”. With this Apple iPhone accessory you simply need to memorize the main route and check out the screen with the map from time to time.
And here where the biggest problem is hidden: how are you supposed to be driving carefully and watching the road if you need to check out the map almost constantly? This is totally not safe and the main reason for other GPS devices to talk is for the drives not to get distracted by watching the route. It proves that this iPhone accessory is pretty unsafe, isn’t it?
That is why now there are two groups of people: those who still loves iPhone and Apple iPhone accessories no matter what and those who got so disappointed by this huge mistake that they are going to buy another phone or have already done that. What group are you in? Let us know in the comments.
