As I explained further up, in the past I have used the mount to navigate new routes around cities and paths I am unfamiliar with. On a day-to-day basis, sure I can just remember my route...but that doesn't really help if I decide to try new routes there or home.
I also like to have the phone mounted for other reasons. One being able to listened to podcasts, or music. Another is that I can use Apps to get feedback on things like points of interest around me.
