It is easier to type out the destination instead of using the wheel to pick each letter or number. If you're doing this while pulled to the side of the road, it is faster to input directly to the NAV. The app needs time to upload the destination.

The real convenience is when you are out somewhere like shopping and you decide you want to go somewhere to eat afterwards. You can google a good restaurant, send it to the car and everything is ready to go when you return to the car. Also with the app it is a search so I don't have to know the exact address.
