It's not a Google Map, it's Google Maps which is an app that comes with Android phones. Since Google Maps constantly updates its map info as you drive, its map data is about as current as you could possibly get. As mentioned, it also incorporates WAZE technology which provides up-to-date traffic info.
I've been using Android phones exclusively for my GPS for about 5-6 years now and would not want to go back to using either a laptop or a stand alone GPS.
To each his own.
I've looked at Google Maps and agree they are useful to some...just not me especially when I'm going down the road pulling my rig.
I prefer to look at my 7" Rand sitting in the middle up on top of the dash instead of squinting at my little Samsung phone screen. For me it's called the 'eye test' and at my age the 7" GPS wins going away.
My 7710 is updated enough during the year that I'm more than comfortable with whats ahead. The info on my 7710 is all I need/want...and there is plenty of info available.
But again to each his own.
