Dashboard companion .... means something different to every person who sees these words - for instance is it a satnav, or perhaps a camera (dashcam) etc? Was there a time when the trusted Filofax was called a companion of some form?
There are lots of good reasons why satnav is useful to have, and not just using a mobile telephone. Like some others, Mrs S does not have a smartphone, the DORO phone manages calls, texts and is also a camera .. it even has Bluetooth so could be used hands free for calling. Which brings me to the main reason not to use a smartphone as a satnav when driving - because it is illegal to hold a phone when in control of a car and unless there is a very good cradle system, or helpful passenger to hand that's 6 points and a fine on the way. Of course, there is one good reason too, because it will be more up to date than the satnav in many cars.
