Re: Would you still keep Google Maps app after installing Garmin Mobile XT?

If I'm not mistaken, it looks like Garmin Mobile XT now incorporates google search.
So, I'm wondering if there is incremental benefit to keeping Google Maps app.

I have both installed on my phone and use both. I only use the Garmin Mobile XT on occasion, though, as I found Google Maps to be much easier and it runs better on my phone (HTC Tilt2/Touch Pro 2/Rhodium) for some reason. Garmin takes up a LOT more space, which may also be something to consider. However, I have and use both..
When I went on longer (3+ hours) trips, I would use Garmin, as sometimes GM's locator doesn't always show the correct location.. it's not all the time, but I did find the Garmin to be better on longer trips.
