I have a question for anyone who uses a cell phone as a GPS. Can the GPS function be used in areas without cell coverage? GPS is worldwide, although I have had problems with it in deep canyons (Glenwood Canyon, for one). There are plenty of areas in the country that have poor or no cell coverage, but where a stand-alone GPS works fine.
I'll ask my son. I think the Google Mpas App gets downloaded to the phone....... so in theory....

Darn 15 year olds..... he said he never lsot service while using it as a GPS.
Sounds like a road trip coming..... The route to my sisters house is thru a valley where we lose cell service. I'll have to get back to you.

You should always have speed, direction and location (Coordinates) on a GPS equiped cel phone.This data is derived from the GPS satellites and is always available.
It's the maps that are down loaded via the cel phone service. If you have no cel service, then you have no maps.
