    Phone based GPS uses the same signal as a stand-alone GPS unit. I know I am able to use GPS-based only apps on my iPhone when no data or voice signal is available.

    This app claims to not need a data signal, only GPS.

    My android phone gps loses signal quite frequently, even in the middle of Dallas/Ft Worth.
