Is the speed on the phone down to the us of Assisted GPS on mobiles rather than traditional GPS on standalone Nav devices, not to mention that these days most phones have more computing power than NASA had to put men on the moon, or shuttles into orbit. The phone will be soliciting help from Assistance servers / Phone towers and the like. The raw processing power of a modern phone will make even a flagship (so to speak) Nav product like an XT seem pedestrian at times. My only concern would be having that one device for comms and navigation, and then having a RUD after dropping it 
When I get back to riding, I think I will look out for a second decent spec phone and hopefully the supply of the connected cradle will be better by then to, it certainly seems to be the way forward and MRA has been a brilliant tool to use, especially on my Surface book laptop with Surface pen and my iPad Pro and the Apple pencil thingy.
