Here you will often see people driving with the NAV unit on, by they are not navigating anywhere, just going to or from work the same route they driven every day for the past 15 years.
I have even seen a middle eastern guy here have NAV running both on his cheap ass 2 DIN win CE head unit and on the phone on the windscreen.
And then not forgetting the people that will put a NAV unit or smartphone right smack in the middle of the windscreen though thats illegal here, but it just got to be up there so other people can see your smart devise ( only reasoning i can think off )
I have 3 things I can use as a GPS to navigate. To figure out which free app is best I will run 2 units at one time. There is a difference in programs. Testing side by side is the best way to know which option works best. I had a genuine 7" gps I took back. Besides freezing up after an hour of use it had map problems. A road under 5 years old was there. Other roads there for better than 40 years were not. A change in routing better than 10 years ago did not show up.
Testing locally when not needed is the best change to make sure that locally you get useful information.
It may also be used more for a speed warning to prevent speeding tickets.
