As much as I wanted my phone gps to work as well as my Garmin, it didn't. I tested them both extensively side by side on a hunt the other week using view ranger vs Garmin rhino and while the app was ok it certainly didn't retain signal as well under thick cover.
If you are comparing to an etrex or an earlier Garmin then the phone will shit all over it, no contest.
I'm sticking to the gps, by the time I bought a fancy case, spent money on buying whole of nz maps on phone, bought a power supply pack ect ect it all adds up.
