cell phone GPS chips still aren't quite as sensitive as the ones in standalone GPS devices. Having reviewed dozens of phones and GPS apps, I've found cell phones are prone to lose track of their current positions on occasion. I rarely see that happen with the many GPS devices I test, although it still does.
Two unrelated issues compound the problem. Some apps, such as Google Maps Navigation, VZ Navigator, and AT&T Navigator, still rely on cellular data to download route maps during navigation, in addition to using GPS for satellite positioning. That reduces accuracy in areas with poor wireless coverage.
