A few Sat Nav's in for repair recently, including this TomTom with a broken charging port.
These are far less common than they were in the 2000's, because more cars have built-in navigation, and every smartphone has free access to Google Maps and Waze; which provide real-time traffic updates and road information.

Advantages of using a Sat Nav are: > Large display and loud audio > GPS apps consume your phone battery and mobile data allowance > Keeping your phone connected to Bluetooth without disruption or complications
It seems difficult to justify having a Sat Nav if you have a smartphone, but it comes down to personal preference.
