No thanks - I don't want to be looking at a dinky cell phone screen in traffic when I don't know where I'm going. And besides the dinky screen, if it's in a holder then it's really too far out there to use in heavy traffic - it's either that or you're holding it in one hand further distracting you. I much prefer my large screen Garmin 760 that I can just quickly glance at. And what do you do with a cell phone out west when you loose data coverage? I haven't lost satellite contact with my 760 except inside of a tunnel.

Had a coworker get lost on a trip to Memphis because she was relying on her cell phone and she hit some dead spots along the way and dropped the map.
I will take my stand alone GPS any day over my phone ...(darn calls always seem to come in when I really need navi)
Thanks!
