I have an older Nuvi with lifetime updates & traffic. Tried the smart phone. Decided that I preferred to use the Garmin as primary & keep the smart phone as a backup.
On the other hand, if you only rarely need route guidance and don't have a stand-alone GPS, a smart phone makes perfect sense for occasional use.
I am somewhat biased. I fly in fairly complex airspace. A Garmin with XM weather really helps keep me legal & safe. A particular benefit is that most TFR's appear on the screen as well.
