Reasons to use the built in NAV:
1. Sick and tired of fat fingering digits into my iPhone and having to enter everything twice
2. No cell coverage at the time so iPhone/Nav can't get the data it needs.
3. I'm headed home from an unfamiliar location and only need directions to the highway (easy to select "home" from address book)
4. I can easily mute the sound on the OEM Nav until the last 5 miles of the trip. Unmuting on a smart phone requires taking eyes off the road for at least 3 seconds. Could be the wrong 3 seconds.
Don't get me wrong, I often use my phone for Nav and 'm a WAZE user for long, highway based trips. But to always have your smartphone on your dash/window is a distraction based accident waiting to happen (especially in local driving conditions).
