TheArtist, 14 Aug 2019Too bad we don't have a better option than G Maps nowadays..Wrong, i use Here WeGo and Offline Maps & Navigation from ( Maps, GPS Navigation ( developer ) on PlayStore.
These are amazing apps alternatives to GMaps. Don't let Google know even more than they already know about you... Laways use safe alternatives... There are plenty of them . Cheers

I use to use here maps when it was on my nokia 5800 to track possible run routes across fields, bridal paths, canal paths etc....I use to send in the map corrections to Google to improve their local maps of my area and London but they never accepted one, even though map corrections was a thing and I'd physically walked or ran each route...that's when I started looking elsewhere for maps in my android device, ones that track route, go tag locations of interest , etc

[deleted post]If you had brains you'd realise you can use other map services other than Google maps, so it's not really a monopoly....you're just prejudice against America

AnonD-558092, 14 Aug 2019If it relies on telephone stations, it isn't offline is it?... moreIf you are running and your "good dedicated sports watch" lose the signal due to trees, buildings, etc. A good one have the feature of calculate through its extra sensors like the accelerometer and gyroscope your route and distance until you recover the GPS signal and then adjust an recalculate the distance, time stimated, etc, from that point maintainining the route calculated while you where out of signal.
Airplanes do it in another way using the pitot tube, Inertial Reference Systems (IRS) and other sensors when the gps its lost, and, of course, using mainly its backup radio system, the Radio Aids (VORs, DMEs, ADFs, ILSs), that in fact is old main one and still vital as a backup and complement of the GPS used all the time too.
In the same way you can do something like that to improve your phone navigation if you have enough stations around. So you are using your GPS and making adjust when needed, triangulating your position between the base station antennas, at least three of them. And even calculating your route when the GPS signal is not available.
