I've been thinking about getting a phone just for use as a GPS. The model I've been looking at is the Kyocera Duraforce pro E6910 with 64GB. They are available for around 100-125 bucks. Any thoughts? I assume 64GB will handle a GPS program and associated maps. It looks like most, if not all of these are refurbished or have been used as display models but some of the ads don't specify.

I had a Duraforce which worked great for over 10 years, I had to throw it away as the power receptacle
went bad (probably lots of dust/sand....) and stopped charging.
I have since bought this Amazon product ASIN B08P176F3Fa bit pricey but it seems to be bullet-proof, screen is bright even in sunlight, battery lasts forever and
has enough memory for my needs.

The USB port seems to be the weak part of the DFP2 that I use. Sometimes it works and sometimes is doesn't. I have Gaia and OsmAnd and PA maps loaded.

I used black silicone and "permanently" installed a charging cord. Worked for the short time I've used it. Been laid up all summer so I have no idea on the long term feasibility of this set up.
I tried that using hot-glue and it worked "for a while"; just a temporary fix;
Been using the "big Rugged Tablet" now for a month on some rough roads and it is holding up
really well; The battery lasts for 2 days and the USB-C port is sealed when not in use.

That's is very impressive battery life. Or at least it seems to be
