[QUOTE="SMS, post: 3091619, member: 42"] To clarify what happened in your case. You probably had GPS, but poor cell coverage. Most phones use A-GPS which uses cell phone tower triangulation and data to assist with gps satellite acquisition. When cell signal is lost or poor (only in range of one tower for example) some cell phone receivers suck and take forever, if ever, to get a good gps fix. It’s possible in rough, high terrain to experience some degradation of gps coverage too....but if you can get a clear, wide view of the sky you should be ok. [/QUOTE]
