On the contrary I'm surprised folks are still buying them, especially if they have smartphones. I'll concede that there are some benefits to a real gps, and so long as they aren't set up with some silly setting selected (like the report above), they work pretty well these days.
Still, for 99% of the places people go (and I travel extensively all over the country), a smartphone works nice.
Yes, a gps is cheaper in recurring costs, but many already have the phones.
