Curious to get some feedback about the GPS functionality of the 3G to 3GS to the new model.
I owned the 3G and will be upgrading to the new model next week. I'm curious to see if anyone experienced an improvement between 3G and 3GS's GPS functionality. To me, the 3G's GPS function was fairly unusable (while on the move) -- in part because of the lagging processor and poor connections. It was fine for looking things up, but compared to a dedicated GPS system (like a Nuvi), it was worthless. I tried a few (very expensive) turn-by-turn apps, but non were practical because of the lag.
I'd love to have fully functional, responsive, accurate GPS within the phone but if it's considered to be simply an extraneous function that doesn't have the precision of a dedicated GPS device, I'll hang onto my existing device.
Curious to see if anyone has any insight regarding how the new antenna might function.
Cheers!
