Do we still need GPS when we can use Smartphone?

I downloaded voice en-us under voice packs (recorded) and TTS Voice cs-tts under Voice Packs(TTS). Would these 2 suffice? Thanks.

kahit ung en-us lang gagana na dapat yan

Depends. Oner major advantage of a dedicated GPS device is the display. Usually its big and easy to read as compared to using touchscreen phones with GPS apps which are usually only 5inches across or smaller.

That too. PLUS the fact that using functions like GPS NAV on your smartphone usually quickly drains the battery in a couple of hours.

Can google navigation function offline

Yes... if you have preloaded (cached) the area in your handset.

gano ka detailed yung info ng mga establishment sa standalone GPS? what i like about Google Navigation eh yung search function ng places, minsan kasi sa waze hirap hanapin ng establishment lalo na kung di sikat. for example isang tagong resort sa laguna, sa waze di sya kita pero sa google kita sya.

I'd rather have a separate device for GPS. I just use my phone's GPS when I am travelling by foot or commuting.
