This is exactly what I needed to hear, i.e. works for fairly short days and idiot proof. Do you use some kind of bar mount for the phone or just have it in your pocket in case you need it? If the former, how do you get around the issue of screen glare?
ketsbaia-
I gritted my teeth and bought a quadlock. Giving money to such a company pained me, but the product works. You could also get a cheap stem bag thing from decathlon.
I don't get screen glare on my pixel so don't know.Osmand is free and you can put GPX into it and navigate you. If you want to do it free.

The apps platypus listed, or osamand. Or if you want to pay Rwgps is great. I'm biased as they pay me but I used it before that. But it's super slick and navigation on mobile is great.
Unless you're doing huge days or a massive ride. Using a phone works great. My old man now never uses his Garmin, just a phone and Rwgps, so its clearly idiot proof.
