For non-established trails, are you looking for bread crumb navigation?
Prominent survival bloggers have evaluated iPhones and $500 Garman
navigation devices in places without cell signals and found both offer
the same level of accuracy. Realize though, calling the iPhone’s
navigation capability GPS is inaccurate. While it does use the Geo
positioning System from the United States Government, the iPhone also
uses the Global Navigation Satellite System or GLONAS from the Russian
government, cell towers, Wi-Fi locations, and starting with the 2017
iPhones, Galileo, the European satellite navigation system.
