Shameless Youtube Self-promotion
Hey i just started a youtube channel where ill be doing motovlogs/car edits. I actually just released my first one which is sort of a "short film/car edit". I was hoping i could build up a base of viewers from this website who would be more apt to enjoy my channel for obvious reasons. Also for the sake of not completely wasting a thread slot...
Do you tend to use your vehicles built in Nav-system or smart phone?? Although inputing my desired location into both systems takes the same amount of effort i find myself using my phone 99% of the time.

To answer your question about the navigation vs smartphone, I almost always use the in car nav. I don't find it very difficult to input nav instructions, I don't have enough data to have the iPhone map apps running, which also uses a lot of battery power. Also, no place to put the phone, I don't want an ugly dash holder.

^RXSF, if you use a windows phone, it sends the voice directions over the cars bluetooth. No extra setup needed. Which means I always use my phones navigation system. in addition, the maps are preloaded on the windows phone so it does not even use data while navigating. Cool, eh?
In fact, I even turned off the data plan on the phone one day to check, and it worked like a charm.

Welcome to CL as a first-time poster, cagevlogs. 
Actually not bad for a first attempt, considering that most of the video was shot at night. I've seen lots worse.

. And i agree it was really shaky as i used my phone for the whole thing. I actually taped it to a baseball cap for the pov footage lol. I learned a lot while making it though so hopefully future edits will be better. I'll also try to stray away from using a lot of nighttime footage until i acquire better equipment.

Also remember that, (depending on your account and its conditions), video-taking with a cell-phone can use up a lot of the capacity you're paying for each month.
