Phone gps no doubt is getting better or already is but sometime on long drives a dedicated gps on a windshield works out better- set it and forget it.

yes people still use GPS units. I have a 1hr commute and I don't even have to touch the unit to get live traffic.. convenient. To be fair Google has better traffic routing. Last month I-95 was shut down. Garmin routed me into the main side roads that were congested. Google brought me through neiborhood roads with no stoppage.

If you drive at countryside where there is no data coverage. Garmins business is actually not impacted very much by smart phone mainly because of their built-in GPS business with car manufacturer //@Anonymous: Anyone still uses GPS now?
