With modern smart phones, its exactly the same as having a satnav - the voice is loud and clear and you can select male/female voices, routing preferences etc.
It used to be that phones were slower at updating position and tracked fewer satellites than specialised satnavs but now they are just as quick and track just as many - just checked my phone and it knows about 21 of the 22 GPS satellites and can see 8 of those at the moment from my office - it handles GPS, A-GPS, Galileo & GLONASS. Note that you can buy a fully-functional GPS receiver module on eBay (or wherever) for about USD 10, including delivery, for inclusion in your own projects.
