@John, We are already there 

You don't need network connectivity to use your phone for navigation. 

The GPS on you phone works fine. 

You just need a good Navigation app with offline maps 

Here Drive / Mapfactor and a few others work equally well with no network.
The battery drain will be an issue nonetheless but just plug in and go.

@Okechukwu In my opinion gps systems are not going anywhere until the phones can find a way to get location data via satellite (or rather without requring a network connection), and secondly not obliterate your battery when used for navigation. Then would I agree that Garmin and the rest should be afraid. 

Try using your phone to navigate from Maralal to Turkana, you soon realize your 100k iphone is a paper weight.

Regards,

John K.

Apple watch works perfectly for me and syncs my health data with the fitbit app - I think the market of fitness trackers is going to die soon killed by smartwatches just like the navigation gadgets got killed by smartphones, IMHO

Thank you all! Much appreciated.

@Koech... Where can I get the charger around here and how much are you willing to sell the Fitbit for? Please send the details to my inbox. Thanks.

Good People,

Does anyone know where I can get a Fitbit(or any other fitness tracker) locally? One that monitors heart rate, sleep, etc, and has a mobile app for iOs or Android that I can use to sync the data on it to my phone via bluetooth.

I've asked about it previously but didn't get the results.

Gracias.
