The topic was GPS accuracy and reliability. The S5 works great in this regard for me, better than the two Garmins I have. Agree the downside is limited battery life, which I found to be an issue with all the smart phones I've had...maybe two hours navigating with the screen on. For this reason, and a few others, I use the Garmins for cycling even though their GPS is inferior to the S5.
