[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 238177, member: 4485"] As said above you DON'T need mobile coverage to allow some of the GPS maps to operate on your mobile phone. They work as well or better than standalone systems but you get what you pay for. On Hema explorer I also have the Oziexplorer mine data downloaded as a kml file & it works offline on topo maps or on satellite map if I cut & save a specific area. It's not dependable on any mobile coverage. I believe the Hema app for iPhone/iPad is even better than the explorer app but haven't used it. As technology advances I wouldn't be surprised to see standalone GPS slowly phased out to be honest as people want more from their gadgets than one trick ponies. Biggest issue with mobile phones is available storage for large data & battery life - other than that they work fine as a GPS depending on phone model etc. [/QUOTE]
