How long does an iPhone battery last when the screen is on and processing 3D images like that?

If it's anything like my Nokia - not long enough, and it's no substitute for a real Sat-Nav.

Define 'real sat-nav'. Does the iPhone not have a 'real' GPS chip in it? Does it not run 'real' sat-nav software?

How long does an iPhone battery last when the screen is on and processing 3D images like that?

Entirely valid point, and it's not long at all. But then true satnavs don't last all that long either (though longer than an iPhone, or any decent smartphone, as they don't have to process tens of other data or power other hardware) and they can usually be charged via a cigarette lighter if necessary.

If you'd have a problem using satnav, chances are you'll have one with the iPhone too. I guess the real difference is, once you've got to where you're going, you'd need to take your phone with you for all the normal reasons.

This is a nice addition for the ipod touch.

I read somewhere that you have to buy a car kit.
