I'm planning a cross-country road trip this fall, travelling from near Philadelphia, PA to Anaheim, CA. I will be using the TomTom iPhone app on my iPhone 4S to guide me out. However, I was looking for advice on what would be the best car kit to get. Currently, I have a cheap vent mount that I use. I find that I like the vent mount because it's easy enough to see the sceen, but I don't have the phone blocking my vision of the road at all. I have seen both the TomTom and Magellan car kits that enhance the GPS signal and have hands free calling. However, it looks like both of them use suction cups. I have found Kensington has the Assist One which has the vent mount option, but does not enhance the GPS signal. My questions are:
1) Do either the TomTom or Magellan kits have a vent mount option that you can get (keep in mind that I will be using a rental car on the trip.)?
2) Is there anything that could be purchased with the Kensington mount that would enhance the GPS signal?
3) How needed is a GPS enhancer with an iPhone 4S?
Thank you for your help and opinions.
