Really? An iPhone or Galaxy can display GPS data when out of range of a

Of course they can... They just can't download any maps..

Not true. See my previous post re Navionics chart apps.

Please post a reference to your post that you reference above. I ask
as I am using an android phone and it seems to be able to receive and
post GPS signals directly from the satellites.

I am using an application called "OsmAnd" that has the ability to
download and store charts on the phone.
