I've heard some good things about vz's coverage from a lot of people who have had vz. Iv'e also seen it. They were up in the mountain and were talking to their family whilst those of us on t mobile and at&t and sprint had no signal at all. Lol! that's about all the questions i can answer as i don't' use gps stuff anymore. Keep in mind VZ is expensive but you get what you pay for and it's well worth it. Having said that I'm on sprint because of my budget.
