I'm an avid user of Waze in my pickup or on my bike. Occasionally I use Google Maps. Every once in a blue moon, I'll use my pickup's navigation system.
Waze can get you of a traffic jam, road closure, etc.

I assume that if you carefully plan your route and stick to it that you will do OK without a GPS or App.
Me, I might detour at a moments notice just because I saw or though of something else I wanted to do.

I bought a Garmin RV GPS that I can plug in my weight, length, height and toad.
I used Waze for my RV travel for a while. You can't tweak Waze for a motorhome. It assumes you are driving a car or pickup.
After Waze took me in on the wrong route to Devils Den state park in AR. I never used it again for my RV travel.

Waze took me into Devils Den on a route that was limited to 20' if I remember correctly. I was towing a car hauler behind my motorhome. If there were any signs, I missed them.
The switchback road I was on was so sharp in many curves that I was taking up the whole road and shoulders.

My RV GPS would not have allowed that route.

If you ever get jammed up one time, you might change your mind about a GPS system that can be configured for your RV.
