Harry's GPS Suite Forum

Hi everyone.

How are you finding the iphone 5 for GPS accuracy? I used the 3GS with the tom tom cradle which seemed to work fine.

They don't do a tom tom cradle for the iphone 5 yet. But been looking at the different mounts. See the ram mounts in the compatibility list. Twist and lock mounts scare me as the cheap one off ebay I got, don't seem to stick very well. Though not a ram mount one. Is the ram mount suction good?

Would like one that is compatible with the GO Pro mounts I have. But only ones I've found (Life Proof) require there own case first, then buy the adapter. I have this suction mount already. Could pick a car up with it!

Please let me know you thoughts.

Actually two topics: the iPhone5 GPS seems to be pretty much the same as the iPhone4S's Both are by far better than the iPhone3G/3GS chips, but probably not as good as the TomTom has been. Recommendation can be found here: www.gps-laptimer.de/Compatibility.html including a RAM Mount that works.

what about the iphone 5s gps ? I used to use the iphone 4 with the tomtom - would it be the same as that?
thanks

I have not seen a lot differences since the iPhone 4. But I ran no tests either.... As a dedicated GPS, the TomTom has been better than any internal smartphone GPS I have seen so far.

annoying i cant make the 5 fit it, be ideal then

Well, it is still a 1 Hz device and recent external GPSes are even better

Well with some adapters and changes to the case I made it fit !
however... first of all the iphone 5s says this accessory is not supported by this iphone.
second laptimer picks it up!
third, go to main lap timer screen, it stops working/disconnects it and no longer shows on sensor list:(

oh well. I'm on track this weekend, so will use the internal gps and see how I get on
