Looking At A Mazda CX-3 .... Do I Need The Navigation?

In my current car, a 1996 Jeep Cherokee, I have a Ram mount installed that allows me to see the navigation on my phone when I'm using it, and to use the dashcam app as well. I would mount the phone similarly in the CX-3.

I use the basic Google navigation in the phone a couple of times a month, and it works well for me, aside from it being difficult sometimes to answer an incoming call while the navi is on the screen..

I'm wondering what benefits ordering the navigation package on the CX-3 might be, if any?
 
What trim level are you getting? It(Nav) is standard in the Grand Touring. I think Nav is plug and play for the lower trim levels meaning you can buy the little "module" and plug it in.

It already has a touch screen and you can use Bluetooth for your phone.

I use my phone for Navigation so I don't care much for the car nav systems
