One thing about google maps is it does require a connection to download certain information during your drive. It will download the information needed for your route upfront, but if you lost connection and had to detour it might not be able to course correct and wouldn't have high detail mapping of areas outside your route. That said, that's probably a pretty rare issue to run into, as long as you aren't way off the grid.
It's too bad to hear that the car NAV isn't great, the one feature I thought would be nice with built-in NAV would be the guidance indicators it shows on the heads-up display. There are a few other things like speed limit information, weather (with siriusXM and NAV).
