[nfbcs] Devices for GPS

[Brian Buhrow]

	hello David.  The GPS inside an iPhone or iPod work fine without a
data plan.  What doesn't work is the mapping of latitude and longitude
coordinates onto a map of your surroundings to tell you where you are.
Unless there is an app you can download into the phone or tablet which can
store entire regions of map data, I'm not sure how to do what you  want.
You've probably thought of this, but GPS devices such as Garmin or Tomtom
stand alone devices do what you want but aren't generally accessible.  If
the accessibility part isn't important, then they're the ticket.
