Now that I have a smart phone..do I even need a GPS device?

Several years back I bought a LIVE 1535M TOMTOM for cheap... on sale for $89.

I have the same POS unit. More than once my wife has grabbed it from me while I was throwing it out the window. The routing of that unit is HORRENDOUS. And yes it is updated.
The other day on a long trip we tried my wife's smartphone GPS app. It successfully got us around Wash DC. Always a failure with the TomTom and my Xcite built in.

I would say the stand alone GPS unit will soon be a memory like the cassette tapes.
