Got tired of my Tom Tom mount for the 3GS... doesn't sync to satellites now, so I'm left with the internal GPS on the iPhone, and that is pants... especially in London.

Any one recommend a windscreen mount for an iPhone 4S please??

My 4S clips into my Tom Tom mount OK, but doesn't charge. GPS is so juicy I will also need a charging lead, preferably integrated, rather than having to clip in the iPhone, and then clip in a power lead.

Also looking for a mount that is relatively small and discrete like the Tom Tom mount... I've seen some monstrosities out there that look positively industrial!!

Cheers for any advice!!

For the iPhone 4 to charge Tomtom made available an adpater (sticker) that attached onto the car kit that pushed the mount in further.

I'm sure you could create something yourself if you're not able to get hold of the adapter...

Are you sure it's that bad as I have used my 4S all over Europe using the inbuilt GPS and a cheapo Amazon mount and usually I'm the first to buy expensive kit.

I tried cheap but you get what you pay for. Mine works a treat on a Herbert Richter mount. This one:

With this phone specific adapter:

Be sure to get a 2amp charger. I have these in my cars:
