You can even purchase an app like TomTom or Sygic for it for a reasonable price, then you never have to worry about losing the phone signal interrupting your GPS functionality/directions….and you have all the route creation and other goodies of a full standalone GPS.
Regarding the phone charging, if you read the comments closely, you will find that they say that oversize phones may have difficulty being charged by the glovebox as the power output is limited, and the larger batteries overpower it. Normal sized phones have no issues.;):thumbup:
