This will in essence turn the phone into a gps unit, right? Helpfull links or point me in the right direction. I have looked at garmin and tomtom but I am not sure if this is what I am looking for.

TomTom is what I use, but from what I have found out is you need bluetooth activated, only so the program does not think its in flight mode. It does not actually require a cell signal to work as it works with map files you place on the sd card. Garmin works the same way, although as another user in this thread stated, Garmin works just fine even in flight mode. Im sure there are other programs out there, but I have not come across any that are free, that use map files.
