We drove the Panamerican between 2018 and 2020 in a van and used Google Maps, Maps.me and Waze (for traffic in a few of the big cities).

Next year, we are going to the Balkens, Italy, Greece and Turkey on a motorcycle. How necessary is the extra GPS device for maps? Why not just use the phone? Is it due to data usage? We're not looking for off roading or difficult mountainous tracks...just main roads, even if some are gravel/dirt.
