Another problem with smartphone GPS aps is that the smartphone hardware tends to be awfully fragile, compared to a real GPS.


Not true. Most decent smartphones now are using gorella glass, kevlar coverings, etc, much sturdier than the plastic of my Garmin. The "free" and low end smartphones maybe fragile but thats just like any other product, you can't lump them all with the bottem end.
