GPS or smart phone
I was wondering what was the difference between a GPS app on a smartphone and the GPS units such as Garmin? We expect to use it to RV travel.

Although smart phones have gps in the they rely on the data connection to render the map. So if no cell service no gps.

GPS mounted on dash to see is no comparison to a hand held small screen phone. Not to mention the data used. I see people driving RV's with computers set up on the dash and phones and they are fiddling with it entering route info. Down right scarey to me.
My GPS is on the dash of the MH sitting in a donut holder.
I don't even have to key in my route on my GPS. I SPEAK my directions to it, she calculates the route and then she speaks back the directions. I don't even have to look at the GPS! Don't think they make a phone that can do all that yet!:B
