Does anyone use cell phones apps for driving directions or does one need a separate unit like Magellan or TomTom Thanks Ray

You can download Google maps (the data files) when needed so you don't need data services later. We go places where there is no service on cell phone, so need to remember to download. I forgot last time and pulled out the Garmin to map our travels..
I use Google maps for local trips and it works very well for that. I tell Google where to navigate to, then turn the phone's screen off and put it in my shirt pocket. Google guides me via voice announcements and I never need to look at the screen.
Unless something has changed in the Google maps app that I'm not aware of, it will only let you download about a 10 mile section of map so if your route is longer than 10 miles, you're out of luck.
