It provides an electronic "how goes it" log and ensures you fly legs
rather than direct-to.


As does the more traditional nav gear. So nothing is gained by having the
route as a flight plan loaded into the Garmin.


When you're *at* a waypoint, it shouldn't make a difference by which means
you've identified the waypoint. You're there. That's what you report.

As I understand this conversation, it's when you're not at a way point that
this discussion rears its head.

However, that does beg the question: on an IFR flight, when would you report
your position while not at a waypoint? I suppose ATC might ask for some
unknown reason (RADAR failure, and shifting into non-RADAR mode, perhaps?),
but I've never experienced that myself.
