I use the Mophie Juice Pack. I would say that if you are a regular user of
GPS apps, some kind of supplementary power source is pretty much mandatory.

Allen,
The Seeing Eye GPS app announces intersection just like the Maestro or
Breeze do. I used to own a Maestro and later had MobileGeo which basically
is the same but was designed for the old Windows Mobile platform and one
thing I found even then when the information was updated was that a lot of
POI's that the Trekker announced were not actually correct or even there
any more. It seemed it was using outdated information even back then and
given how fast businesses change these days I would guess that in most
cases the POI information nowadays is pretty useless. I think here
accessing online maps which get updated much more often is the way to go.
Regards,
Sieghard

It will depend on your needs. If you are going to be out and about all
day long and require a GPS system, then you would be better off with a
Trekker and save your battery power for your iPhone. The GPS in the
iPhone will really suck up the battery. On the other hand, if you just
want a GPS app for just in case, then an iPhone GPS app will probably due.
The Trekker however uses maps with more points of interest then some of
the GPS apps and offers announcement of each street your passing by such
as Jones street on your left or 3 way crossing. Jones street on your
left, Smith road in front and Jones street on your right. This tells you
that Jones street runs left and right and it assumes you know the street
your already on. Far more detailed then many iPhone apps. So again, it
will depend on your needs which way will be the best.
Regards,
Alan

I was surprised to find out today that Humanware still
makes a hand held version of the trekker breeze. I thought in this era of
smart phone apps Trekker was extinct.
It may be an unfair question, but how do any of the Iphone gps apps
compare to the current Trekker?
