A few weeks ago I dropped my trusty old Galaxy S3 yea I know older than dirt, but it forced me to upgrade so I bought a Galaxy S6 and instantly noticed how well google maps GPS system works on it now....
We have a dedicated Garmin and it's great. Includes traffic and accident conditions...but when it dies, the cell phone will become our primary.
If you are worried about losing signal, you can always scan thru the route ahead of time and will download the map.
Alternatively, we have downloaded offline maps for Spain and Italy when we have been overseas. I'm sure there are US versions available you can download as a backup.
Dedicated GPS systems are on the way out.
