Which is better is both subjective and objective. What are your goals and conditions?
Many, but not all, smart phone navigation apps rely on a cellular connection to provide the map behind your location indicator.
If you are traveling in hilly areas or areas with a population of less than 25 people per square mile, you may not have a cellular data signal, and therefore no map behind your location indicator.
At that point, a stand alone GPS device or an app that downloads the maps to your smart phone have an advantage over many smartphone navigation apps.
For most people, those who don't leave the city or highway corridors, most smart phone navigation apps are fine. As long as you can use both data and voice on your phone. Nothing worse than a phone call while you are coming up to a freeway interchange you have never been to before, a call comes in and no more navigational assistance.

Is using this as good as using a Garmin? It seems like a Garmin would be
