(Smartphones have smaller GPS antennas that can take longer to attain a lock; normally the reason they lock much faster is because they get Assisted GPS information via the cellular network, which doesn't help if you're not in cellular service.)
Many GPS apps incl. Google Maps will only offline select regions, which can leave you with your pants down if you don't offline the area in advance. (Again, exceptions apply; HERE WeGo allows you to offline the entirety of the US (with some other countries as part of the North American package).
These devices still have their place, even if smartphone navigation has advantages in everyday use.

been a while since i updated mine, but usually it was twice a year. april and october or something?
Essentially, anytime you hook up your unit to your computer it will check for an update to both firmware and new map data. So as long as the company stays in business you'll have up to date maps as long as YOU keep it updated. To my knowledge it's not rolled out on a schedule.
This unit also has built in WiFi so theoretically you don't even have to hook it up to your computer anymore.

From my understanding, some phone's gps are very reliant on cellular data to triangulate your location so in remote areas where there is no signal, you may not get accurate data. Some of the higher end phones do have gps chips in them, but may be less sensitive than dedicated gps units. Other downside is that using gps on your phone drains battery really quickly so if it is your main phone, battery degradation becomes a real issue.
That won't work for a lot of people - myself included. I need access to my phone, as a phone, during my drives. Many people need a dedicated GPS, a larger screen, etc.
