I use my phone with ridewithgps. It's not perfect, but neither is anything else. I connect my phone to an external battery and tell my screen to stay on. I bought an expensive mount and case for the bike (both Quad Lock). Operating the touchscreen while riding is very tricky. The display is very legible.
I also put Quad Lock mounts on both cars' dashboards, and my spouse has a Quad Lock adapter on her phone case. All of this stuff was expensive but it's very convenient for us.
