Looking to update our rv gps system, an aging Garmin. Your thoughts please.

Country Bob,
If you stick to blue roads and don't try to travel the "road less taken", you phone will do well.
For planning, the phone will be useless and in spite of trying to pre-load areas where coverage is poor or less, we still drove off the end of the world a few times. In these cases any GPS is better.
For planning, Google maps does work, but there is the "no coverage issue" to deal with all the time. So, using it as an enroute navigator is a lost cause.
Our coach does not need much for special conditions, we are not so restricted.
With the death of Street Atlas, there is no longer any planning package that works for us. For us, it can't be an internet application, we are off coverage far too much for that to be of any value at all.
