Dedicated GPS or GPS-capable phone

[scooter]

I’ve been eyeing NUVI 295W for the longest time, I almost pulled the trigger however I was sales-talked into buying a phone instead. My current jurassic phone is due for replacement anyhow, so might as well do a compromise.

Question: Ang layo ba ng performance ng dedicated GPS over a GPS-capable phone? What features will I lose I buy the phone instead of the nuvi or vice-versa? Pros/Cons?

I will use the GPS mainly in my car/bike during out of town travel, which is not that frequent.

Thanks.
