Let me explain my use case a bit better:

- I do carry a cell phone for voice/text communication. No data. No camera. It's a ruggedized phone without those features because I visit customers who don't want visitor cameras/data devices within their building but I often have to call work while on-site.

- I really don't want to carry multiple phones or deal with a data plan. I know that sounds irrational if I'm willing to carry a secondary navigation device so get over it.

- I do carry a wi-fi only tablet when traveling. I have tried a couple off-line mapping applications but found those messy to use while driving alone.

- I have zero problem with paper maps/directions and often use them while traveling for business, but also finding those to be inconvenient (especially when navigating alone at night).

- I am frequently in areas where there is no wi-fi / data reception.

And so a portable vehicle navigation device makes sense to me. The Garmin Drive series seems to be the best/reasonable I can find. I was just curious what others were using...
