Is a Garmin GPS better than using my phone?
Smartphones: Many navigation apps on smartphones allow users to download maps for offline use, which is beneficial in areas with poor or no network connectivity. Garmin Handheld GPS Devices: Garmin devices typically have preloaded maps and do not rely on cellular data for navigation. Can I use GPS without an Internet connection? Yes. On Android and iPhone devices, the Google Maps app can locate and follow you wherever you are without the internet or without data. The GPS on your smartphone is able to do both things at the same time.
