The primary benefit is being able to use GPS when you are outside of a good data connection. Google Maps/Bing require a data connection as the maps are not located on your phone, where iGo and other GPS applications store the maps on your SD card.

I have to admit I am using Bing (generic, not Verizon version) more than iGo these days, but it's still good to know I have the capability if I need it.
