Does anyone have any recommendations for a smart phone with GPS that works well in CM? I am especially interested in saving coordinates while hiking in the jungle and being able to reproduce a map later on a PC. Are you much better using a standalone GPS device? Any information is appreciated.

Any smartphone with a GPS can do the job, however continuous usage drains the battery pretty quickly (like in 5 hours or so, depending on the battery capacity). So if u plan to go away for days or u need to track your location all the time, u're probably better off with a standalone device. Also it comes with a software, so u don't have the hassle with that, and the GPS unit is typically stronger in those (finds sats faster and more precise location, although the latter is usually not a problem). Also, smartphones quite often have problems with the GPS. So far I've had 2 smartphones, neither were reliable enough, and I'm not just unlucky.
