What gps do you use?
I have tried two types of gps, Garmin and Magellan. Both will failings. Am looking for best option. Google is good but I have to use data so I'd like one that doesn't require data. Any thoughts?

Lets not get this argument going again.
A phone is not a GPS.
It shares some features but falls way short, assuming of course that one knows how to work a real GPS
Huh?
My iPhone has a GPS radio chip and a full database no different than any other GPS does.
In fact if you have the right software on your phone, and have access to a public (free) RTK base station you can take 1-2 cm RTK GNSS positions on a smartphone. This is accurate enough to legally make a land survey with.
How is that falling ‘way short’ of anything?
This is my question. Maybe 10 years ago that was true. However today, aside from maybe not having access to bridge height into, what is the difference? we rarely use our dedicated GPS anymore. Set a destination, download the maps, turn data off, and enjoy turn by turn voice navigation.
