One of the great benefits of newer smart phone technology has been the development of numerous mapping software that utilizes the GPS units that are integrated with the phone's hardware. Phones with GPS are becoming much more useful than any regular phone, and are starting to nudge out those specialized directional GPS units in popularity. If you're debating whether or not you should get a phone with GPS, consider just how much easier it would be to get directions straight from your phone instead of having to use some extra piece of bulky equipment to get to where you need to go.
