Dash Cam vs GoPro?

My 2016 Tacoma has the pre-installed GoPro windshield mount. For dash cam use are there any advantages of a decent dash cam vs. a GoPro?
Suggestions on which device is a better way to go and which model to get.

 

There's a few really good threads on this subject. I wish I was better at the search tool, but take a look.

I went to the thread as suggested and found what I was looking for. Thanks

 

I have a DP Video dashcam. Works pretty well and now I am exploring ways to maybe adapt it to the GoPro mount. Here are a couple of threads you may find helpful.
