My Android phone even has pretty good speech recognition for destination searching. I think the key is to use a phone with a large, brightly lit screen. Mine came from Amazon at a very reasonable price and with a very nice screen: http://www.amazon.com/Studio-5-5S-Quad-Unlocked-White/dp/B00IWCCYY8 I find it strange that everyone seems to think talking on a cell phone is a huge danger but screwing with a GPS or any of that other dash mounted computer hardware is just fine. === Of course the safe thing to do is to pull over while you set the destination and check the route. After that the phone just talks to you without any intervention. My wife's Toyota GPS is voice controlled |
