GPS on devices is updated more frequently than GPS in a car, its easier to take with you, and its all about having 1 device instead of carying multiple. Personally, I travel a ridiculous amount, and it would be annoying to either "rent a gps" with the car rental (well at this point i get car upgrades for free, but still, not everyone gets that option) or bring my personal GPS with me. TeleNav gps also does more POIs than many of the lower-mid range in car GPS. Even with all that, there are many that still prefer the in car GPS systems, so GPS on a mobile device is not important to them. It is a matter of personal preference, and how you use your device.
