Those from iSpazio they did a small test to check the GPS performance of the 3 devices sold by Apple at the moment and you probably don't expect to hear this, but the iPad tablet is the device that had the best performance throughout the test . The iPhone 3GS was far behind with locating and reconfiguring the route, and the iPhone 4 performed extremely close to the iPad, even having moments when it did the locating and reconfiguring the route better than the tablet.

The CoPilot Italia application was used for the test, so the performance with other navigation applications, for example iGo or Navigon, could have different results. One thing is as clear as possible, the new GPS chip in the iPad/iPhone 4 is superior to the one in the iPhone 3GS, and the computing power of the new A4 chip helps a lot in the speed of route reconfiguration. It should be mentioned that iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 had iOS 4.0 installed, which brings improvements to the performance of the GPS mode.
