Agreed. I will never replace my dedicated Garmin satnav with my phone. That would be a downgrade.

I don't want people trying to call or message me on my "satnav" when I'm driving.

Google maps and whatever app on my phone is never going to be as easy to use, consistent, reliable and stress-free as a dedicated device. My Garmin doesn't try to up-sell and tell me about things I don't want to know every 5 minutes. Smartphones are a constant echo chamber of "do you want fries with that" micro-bullshit and irritation.
