If you want maps then go maps but they are not even close in functionality or usefulness. Phones are designed to be phones not cycling navigation computers and suck when they are used that way.
As a Edge 1040 user, I agree they are great units. Unfortunately there's plenty of experience out there that a phone can do a great job of navigating a person across the country. Makes that $750 a hard sell.
