Hi all, just trying to get some feeling for the real capabilities of the inbuilt GPS chips in the new smart phones. Are they now good enough to use for navigation (with the appropriate application and maps) when there is no phone reception, or am I still better getting a dedicated in-car GPS? (I know the aGPS system works fine when there is phone reception.)

I'm looking at getting a new phone, and can see some useful apps that could be run on the new "smart" phones to help with travelling, but they wouldn't require GPS.

Thanks, John
