Which one is better, stand-alone GPS or a GPS in a smartphone? Do you think that I have to buy a new stand alone GPS?

I'm sorry if this a noob question, it's because my GPS in my smartphone is having a problem ( cannot lock the current location, very slow ). I badly need this for my work ( Im in sales n marketing ).

Thanks.

tukar je hp lain.. cari hp yg cepat gps respon..

aku pernah pakai mcm2 hp.. ada cepat.. ada lambat.. nasib la..

kalo nak beli gps asing pun boley.. tp sama je receiver dia.. kadang2 ada cepat.. ada yg lambat..

so utk aku.. aku vote.. pakai hp aje..  cari hp yg cepat respon gps..

  it depend on you actually, i personally own three different type of gps devices (hp, car navigation and handheld). but mainly i just use ovi maps or google maps on my e71, even though google map are not up to date but i like it's ability to add real time traffic info for klang valley.
  as for slow current location lock, it's depend on multiple condition, such as the phone it self, AGPS support, network provider and etc. But most important is to turn on the gps under open sky.

Stand alone ..garmin 255 ftw   sbb simple n x perlu risau pasal battery life sgt..kalo jatuh dr suctipn cup pun xde hal..kalo ade incoming call pun x kacau gps

gps in smartphone la + car charger...

kalo amik gps standalone leceh gi mana2 nak kena bawak x leh tinggal dlm kete. takut nant cermin kena pecah.. 1 lg x elok tinggal dlm kete selalu sbb dlm kete panas ooo...
