Dec 19, 2008 gps navigation, phones, software

Alltell just recently announced a new GPS application developed by Trimble. For $40 a year, $6 a month, or $2 a day Trimble Outdoors will work on Motorola V3A, V3C, V3M, V9M and K1M, the Samsung Muse, LG AX656 and AX8600, the BlackBerry Curve 8330 and the BlackBerry Pearl 8110.
As far as features Trimble Outdoors will let users plan trips online and send/receive trekking routes, maps and waypoints wirelessly to the phone for use as a guide. Users can also track their current and previous routes with a GPS “bread crumb trail,” and even mark and edit waypoints during their journey.
It also has a built-in digital compass to display coordinates, speed and heading. Maps generated by Trimble Outdoors can be accessed in topographic, street and aerial views.

To what extent do these features rely on the cellular network, which is likely to be unavailable in the target environment (hiking, trekking, etc)?
