Platinum + GPS doesn't do dynamic routing; that is, it will give you a route, but it doesn't know where you are on that route -- so, if you get off-route, it can't automatically re-route you (like Navigator will). Platinum + GPS generates Mapquest-like instructions, but it doesn't update the instructions as you move along the route. And, while it generates turn-by-turn instructions, you have to manually advance the instructions as you move along the route; Navigator does this automatically in keeping with your location.
In other words, with Navigator you're getting much more than just voice prompts when compared to Platinum + GPS.
The i.Trek mouse GPS package seems like a good deal.
