Better have a large data plan if you are going to use your cell phone. You will be streaming basically a video that is going to use huge amounts of data. Then you don't get traffic updates a work around.

Not really. Using Google Maps requires very little data. We use our smartphone GPS for most camping trips and we don't notice any extra data usage. Don't get me wrong, it uses SOME data... but not enough that we see a difference in day to day usage.
X2. Yeah a lot of apps require very little. For me, Waze uses about 94MB a month and I use it pretty much daily. If I'm going from point A to B or short trips then I'll stick with the phone. It's king when it comes to instant alerts and map updates. On longer trips I prefer the Garmin since it's features are geared more towards highway travel than Waze.
