The GPS works with the network data services deactivated, which is nice. But, we'll have to see which software will work with the network services deactiavted.
Also, can I just keep the phone in a small pocket of my backpack (near the top surface of the bag ... just through a thin piece of material) or does the phone need line of slight to the sats?
