Mark, Mula, Dennis and Motor Baridi - Thank you so much for your advice on this. An Android-powered phone it is. Mark, I'll trust what you've said about GPS not needing the mobile network...its a problem there. Thanks. MotoBaridi: That was actually the first place I checked but I didn't contact them, just looked at the data they have. Will contact them, this could save me big time.

You could contact the guys behind http://ehealth.go.ke. They have mapped *most* of the health facilities, and have the data you seek.

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
