which one are you using frequently : Smartphone vs. Dedicated Car GPS (PND) ?

I am using GPS Navigation (PDA) as I have setup it very well and it works the most of thing there, but smartphone navigation is as backup

Smartphone manufacturers are wanting us all to go down that route (pardon the pun) but for now I'll stick to my Garmin I think.

I use a dedicated Garmin GPS when driving but I use my android smartphone for navigation everywhere else.

I've been a loyal user of CoPilot for years. However since a firmware update of my android phone the battery drains incredibly fast when using the app. I'm therefore willing to look around for an alternative since the market for offline navigation apps seems a lot more mature now. Especially TomTom and Garmin seem very good condidates with their clean and simple interfaces. I will orientate myself some more; suggestions are welcome.

Battery draining is normal using GPS, if you use it for driving ,get a car cable.
Try iGO and Navigon too, Garmin is a ported app and doesn't work on newer Android firmware.
