I don't buy that. I live and recreate in an area where cell service is bad to non-existent.

I navigate with Google maps all the time. The key is downloading offline maps. I've got multiple states on my phone and they take up surprisingly little space.

I still like my nav in the vehicle because of the larger screen, but I never use it to navigate.

I would do this even if I used the on-board GPS. I wouldn't be in the car 100% of the time, so having downloaded maps on the phone is handy.

Fair- I shouldn’t have said that about google maps. I’m not a google maps user, so not as familiar with what features are available.
