[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1827089, member: 38864"] Alright, so here is what I can confirm. I set up an old iPhone 5s to navigate to work using Apple Maps, then turned wi-fi and bluetooth off before plugging it into my Pioneer head unit. I have no SIM card in it so I was 100% off the grid. I only have a 10 minute drive to work, so Maps was able to preload my route and streets in the general area. As I was driving, the map display remained quite accurate with voice-over directions working until I strayed off route to get coffee. The roads for the area were still loaded and Maps continued to show my correct GPS location even off route. Once I was back on route, the directions resumed. So, given my limited trial, I think you can expect pretty good GPS accuracy with at least an iPhone 5s and newer even if you aren’t connected to a hotspot. [/QUOTE]
