Do we still need GPS when we can use Smartphone?

i use BBT, better than any gps or smartphone.

anyway i have handheld gps and phone's map if BBT does not work (no signal)

I also use my phone, I usually use Google Maps as its less data intensive compared to waze
But my issue is that I loose GPS signal in even in the smallest overpass and it takes an eternity to get a lock again. It becomes kinda useless in Edsa because it always looses signal when Im under the MRT or an underpass.

What inexpensive standalone GPS do you recommend? I have looked around and the cheapest ones I can find (Garmin) are around 7k and that costs as much as a basic android phone with GPS already.

Another question. Who has tried a GPS re-radiating antenna? I found one in sulit for P2300 and it apparently improves the signal inside the car

GPS in HU is much better than using our smartphone,just enable the voice navigator ,di mo na kailangan tumingin lagi sa screen,at dis advantage pa ng smart phone,daling ma drain,kaya kailangan lagi naka plug sa lighter socket,just my opinion

napaisip narin ako nito noon bago ako nagkaron ng garmin (surprise gift ni gf sakin) haha


pag sa HU kasi yun gps for me ang layo ng i-lilingon ko from windshield tapos hindi pa ako makapag play ng music or dvd

unlike sa garmin gps ko ngayon nilagay ko sya under ng rear view mirror kaya kitang kita ko peripheral view akala nga ni gf hindi ko na tinitignan gps nya eh

mula nuon hanggang ngayon kahit alam ko yun pupuntahan inaactivate ko parin yun gps parang high-tech kasi ang dating lalo na sa mga nakisakay na friends kong walang gps sa oto nila...
