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

Is there any reason to 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.

if you want to just quickly look at a map. Google maps loads faster than garmin xt.

When google does turn by turn, I won't use anything else :)

I use turn by turn as well as the tracks feature for XT. I use both, but Google simply for the satelite map.

Is there any chance of happening that in future?
With their own OS on the line (android), I'm not sure if Google finds it to their interest to enhance any features of Google Maps for other platforms.
