1 - People who don't have unlimited data plans (there are a few)
2 - areas that have absolutely no cell service (some mountain pass areas)
3 - Traveling to another country without a SIM or being charged a crap-ton of data roaming
4 - not wanting to be on Google's records of when/where you are
5 - having a second screen dedicated to navigation
There are probably more, but these are the ones I just pulled out of the air
Yes, the phone can also serve for navigation, but you would need accessories to make it waterproof. Plus the vibration from the bike would probably damage the phone after a bit.

Any reason this standalone garmin unit would be a better option?
I had been using my phone, but no the vibration can mess up the cameras.
For those proposing old phones - you can probably get a samsung galaxy s8, mount, and charging solution for sub-$100 that will do pretty well as a gps.
Really a nice GPS, the screen is always visible unlike my phone. You can load GPX tracks to follow which is what i use mine for the most. I make a track on my computer, load it onto the Zumo and follow it on the bike.

The idea of voice control at 70mph on a motorcycle is hilarious. Oh sure, they have noise-reducing microphones for moto com systems, but only someone who has never used one (let alone several) would suggest that would "fix" things.

BTW, most motocom stuff is complete overpriced trash sort of like this product. Tiktokers with 10 subs have better mics than most of these.
If you get in a wreck, your phone will still be on your person as opposed to being flung 150 ft away.
If you are pretty banged up or immobilized, this can be a life saver.
