why a 6Splus over a 6S?

The iPad 4:3 aspect ratio is a winner every day for me. Turning an iPhone to landscape for web viewing is too limiting.
Limiting in what way, can you post any pics so we can see what you mean?
Yes, depends on what you like. For me, my 6s plus does not replace my iPad air 2. If I am at home I use the iPad to
look up recipes, youtube, etc. It's nicer on the bigger screen.
The attached picture is somewhat representative. Compare the screen "real estate" on the iPhone as compared to the landscape iPad in the back. There is much more top/bottom viewable space, which I prefer.
Notably, most Android tablets started by using a similar aspect ratio to iPhones. Samsung changed that trend with 4:3 tablets in more recent history.

Bigger screen for Pokemon Go. That actually was at least some of my logic for buying the plus model, and now that the game is out I'm glad it was.
I've played it on a plus and an se on the same account (I steal my sons SE when I don't want to drain my battery lol). I can honestly say that the experience is about the same. I don't play much else right now so I can't really comment further.
I have really big hands, I'm 6' 5'' (1.95 m), so it doesn't seem big to me. I also have no problem putting the phone in my shorts, dress pants, or jeans. I never can why people can't fit the phone in their pocket.

I use it all the time. Purposely did not add a Nav system on to a new car I just bought. Got everything else though.
My 6s+ works very well.
I'm in the same boat I can't decide between the 6s and the 6s+. I have small hands but my 5s barely lasts the day and I really don't use it that much. I work in childcare and I use my phone a lot for taking pictures of the kids for various things. Sounds like the Plus might be a better option. I'm leary of getting the 7 when it comes out I've been on the S series for a while.

It would work as GPS but would need data for maps and all that, although some apps/services allow for that to be download ahead of time. If it's simply just for GPS uses, seems like a stand-alone dedicated GPS device might be a better/cheaper option.
