Anyone else noticed this if your using GPS and playing music that the phone will actually drain even though it shows its charging. This is when connected to the USB via the lightening cable.

It will charge very slowly if maps is turned off. Maybe 20% in 3 hours.

    The ports are really only meant for media connections.

    Most modern devices to get a good charge rate need 2.1A or so...  as you're getting less than a quarter of that from the USB, not much of a surprise really! Good quality "Lighter socket" charger will deliver what you want.
