It will depend on your needs. If you are going to be out and about all day long and require a GPS system, then you would be better off with a Trekker and save your battery power for your iPhone. The GPS in the iPhone will really suck up the battery. On the other hand, if you just want a GPS a

In my opinion, the combination of BlindSquare and Google Maps or Apple Maps or Navigon wins hands down over the Trekker Breeze. Your map data is updated far more often, the iPHone isn't as effected by heavy cloud cover, which depending on where you live can have a huge impact. Then there is the co

Cost is one obvious advantage in favor of apps. Also, how often is the breeze updated? I don't know the answer to that question. But the product has been out for quite a while. And I have no idea if humanware has been good and faithful at keeping up the map data. I would be concerned about that
