Phone vs Garmin (or like) for navigation

Assuming you have a dyno, charger, and a smartphone, are there significant reasons to use some other gps device for navigation on long distance tours?

I gather that the dyno cannot keep the phone charged in continual display mode, but should be ok if the phone is typically not displaying? Perhaps cellar service with maps are an issue, but it appears all maps can be downloaded in free wifi areas.
