Will the GPS work in the back-country (aka no cellphone towers)?

You will have every fonctions as cardio tracking but the speed and position will not work, but the watch will register many data and when you will have internet acces will load it.

It's spotty at best. It'll come in and out, but most of the GPS in this price range are about as consistent

Yes but your better off not buying this model it has inconsistent gps will crash on return home function. Or fly away and crash.

I did a little research, and came to the conclusion that it most likely will, on the basis that the watch connects with satellite to determine your distance. So, it wouldn't matter where you're at on the globe as long as it is able to make that connection. But with all GPS devices, it's reliability is determined by it's ability to get a good signal which can be hampered by cloudy days, or trying to get a GPS lock from indoors. As long as you are outdoors and it's relatively clear, it should work anywhere.

Yes that is exactly when it works, away from all connections. as long as you are outside and let it find sattelites, you will be able to use your map Programs. you may have to go to settings as it has to accept the Map program, then it will track onto your map on your tablet or phone, i personally use "Navigon Maps", and a Canadian topo map as well, good Luck, rick.m

Why wouldn't it? If the GPS satellites fly over Trinidad, then it will work there. It does not have any maps in it, so it won't show a map of Trinidad, or anywhere else, but it will work.

It will work anywhere in the world where you can get a satellite lock; it works in China, so there's a pretty good chance it'll work in India too. Getting maps for India... well, that's a different story. If you can enter coordinates manually (find them first using Google Earth), you can do without a digital map. Provided you get decent reception, it's very handy for basic orientation (East, West, North, South) and recording of aypoints.

Your position with a GPS signal is triangulated with satellites so I would say yes it will work as long as there are satellites.

The GPS tracking itself should work all over the world.What might be limited may be the map material available for your region that allows you to see the paths on a map.As a workaround it is always possible to use Google Earth to visualize the paths, which should have satellite imagery for most locations on earth, and is available for free.

To the best of my knowledge there is no GPS function on this basic phone (Samsung T105). It isn't at all like a smart phone.

No Canada, Mexico and the US. GPS signals can be picked up worldwide, but the tracking information is transmitted over regional cell phone networks. This is not compatible with Morocco cell service.

It will work only if the device was preloaded with the map for that corresponding part of the world, not if it was on a SD card. The other thing that may work is the GARMIN dvd with life time update. I had to return my key since I was not able to install the update (original with life timeNorth America map preloaded, Europe on a one time SD card) The lifetime Europe update would not install. I had to call Garmin to confirm this.

If your current tracfone has SIM card, yes Nokia 808 is avoid choice to use GPS without cell service. In otherwords, to use it as gps only you don't need a Sim card or cell service. It will work as a stand alone GPS. I have no idea about pay-as-you go providers.

The answers below I believe to be incorrect. GPS is global positioning by satellites. The satellite signals you can get essentially anywhere in the world (yes these are military based) and the phone/tablet knows its position. The problem is that to be useful you need a map (you know the picture with roads and what not). Google maps comes through internet (WiFi or cellular signal) and is not stored locally so it won't work. However, there are lots of apps that download maps and store them locally on the device. With this method the GPS will work fine for routing from New York to California and anywhere else you have maps for.

It can be used anywhere you can get a GPS signal and have a GPS map. I have used it in the United States and in Botswana.

As long as your country/territory is satellite equipped, mapped or Garmin compatible etc..

No radio, no GPS; it does however have geo-locating via Google through wifi

Although I don't know if the software supports other languages, I know this will work anywhere there is a GPS signal (everywhere except where the signal is blocked by GPS jammers or physical obstacles that don't allow the signals to reach the device) and it does not rely on cellular signals for location information.
