My preference is for a stand-alone Garmin unit so that we don't have to be concerned with cellular coverage being available.
However my new mobile phone has huge storage capacity (250GB), so I can store entire map databases in it (i.e. all of North America) ... and not to ever have to access cellular tower provided data anywhere in the U.S. for RV navigation.
I have several apps in it that can operate entirely off this locally stored map data in conjunction with the phone's built-in GPS system ... just like a Garmin navigation unit does.
We also bring along a satellite device that can be linked to the phone (via Bluetooth) so we can send and receive text and ERS messages without cellular tower access ... in addition to hitting an SOS button on the device for emergency help/evacuation.
