I don't recall seeing anything on this on any of the forums I've been haunting. You'd need to be way in the weeds to not even have a 1x signal - not sure you'd need 3G to get enough data thru for Google Nav to work. I have a Garmin hiking GPS I use if I know I'm going to be out in the middle of nowhere or out of the country. I believe these are aGPS chips in these phones which don't work consistently without a cell signal from what I've read. Also, it seems that the SD card is pretty tied to the OS so I don't think the phone would work right if you popped in a SD card from one of those map companies, although I'm just guessing here.
