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?

So ... are you saying that a phone can not have cell tower access and still navigate one all over the place ... assuming one bought a phone model with enough built-in memory capacity to have stored in it at all times a map database of all of the U.S. and Canada?
That is exactly the situation, if one downloads the maps, and it does work in practice. Most phones these days have sufficient storage for the map database; their hardware is not much different from that of a standalone GPS, in fact. I am pretty sure my low-end Android Tracfone has more built-in storage than my GPS (8 GB vs 4? GB), and certainly has more than enough space on the SD card I added for street maps of the continent (or world, at least if I cleared out some podcasts and music).
Live traffic data generally is not available on cell phone navigation apps without cellular data.
