The only thing you need to worry about when venturing out in areas where there is no cell reception is to tell google maps to download the tiles before you leave civilization. gps will still work without cell connection. a-gps simply makes the cold-start time significantly faster.
Yep, but we have tons of dead zones in the Midwest. It's more convenient to have a GPS unit capable of working without the assistance of cellular towers. Plus factory nav integrates with the HUD, so when your turn is approaching you get a little countdown displayed.

The pros for me of the factory nav is the ability to work without cell reception, it integrates with the HUD, and I can leave my phone in my pocket.
