I assume your GF drives, and you access Google Maps via smartphone. That's fine if you have a driver and navigator. It's less fine if there's only a driver, and current car mount GPSs do real time status updates to track just where you are, and can give you audible directions about upcoming turns so you don't have to be looking at the GPS display.
Google Maps is splendid, but it's not a true GPS.

I use Google Maps for navigation daily on my phone. It is in a cradle on my dashboard and it works splendid. Accurate maps and accurate traffic information, all in real time. It is so much better than TomTom or any build in navigation which always have old maps.
Add voice control to this as well, I never have to touch my phone. The mobile data usage is not that high either, as you can use offline maps if you want that gets updated every month via wifi.
I don't know why you don't call it a true GPS though. My phone has a GPS built-in and it shows where I am on Maps accurately.
