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.

If you do buy a GPS unit, buy a Garmin. I've used Magellan, TomTom, and Garmin, and Garmin is hands down the best of the 3. TomToms are an unintuitive mess, and Magellan's routing is terrible.
Maybe it depends on which models you bought?
I RV full time and my TomTom is 6 years old and still getting me to where I want to go successfully!
I think a lot has to do with buying the very low end low priced models of GPS's. You get what you pay for.
The TomTom I bought was the most expensive. I didn't buy it for that reason. I needed the largest screen and the capability of speaking my directions in as apposed to typing them in and of course the speech for directions.
