I use a Garmin Montana 600 and my phone also to compare!
If you ask me personal the Montana is better for someone that needs something "more" from a GPS in his trip.
With Montana:
Battery life better.
In full sun (YES!!) you can see the screen!!!!!
Route/track recording.
Map source..
You can load tracks from others and ride the same exactly route.
Waterproof(some phones also)
With the phone(mapsme,heremaps etc) :
Free maps with no need to get a pc to load them.(only wifi).
Only one device to carry on you.
More simple menu in searching!
For Europe i think is better if you dont go off-tracks.
I am not write for the negatives...
The choice is yours!!
