GPS is not dependent on the mobile phone network All it needs is a clear view of the sky and some seconds. I would go for an android based phone with good battery life because GPS drains the battery rather fast. I find the GPS essentials app to be the best GPS tool in the android market.

Hi,
I plan to map some health facilities in Mandera and I need advice on your experience with mobile phones in getting GPS co-ordinates/locations.
I am assuming mobile phones depend on the infrastructure of say Safaricom to get the GPS locations. What happens in areas where there is no network, how will I get the GPS co-ordinates? Finally, in your experience, what particular phone model has worked for you; what would you recommend?
Thanks James
