Just use a GPS device. Cellphone GPS is useless without a network connection. Cellphones were never intended for GPS mapping. They take forever to a lock and are as accurate as a map and a compass. Get a decent outdoor GPS device from here: http://www.titangroup.co.ke/mapping-handhelds/and you won't have have to worry about the battery life, network connections, accuracy etc They start from around 15k. Same price for a decent Android phone. PS. I am a non-interested party in Titan group. They just happen to be the ones I know who have a multitude of GPS devices in stock On 17 February 2013 20:26, Areba Collins [ @BrainiacKE ® ] < arebacollins@gmail.com> wrote:
There are many stock options for offline GPS points if you need.
I use Gaia GPS ($$) or Offline topo maps (free) on my i-device and can create coordinates and even complete layers and export in standard format for use elsewhere....
it is what i would call a sledge hammer to kill a fly since even simple stuff like photos on most phones that have GPS will store coordinates of where the photo was taken.
