Don't you need to have susbscription/ access to wifi to use the phone as a GPS?

Hello,

I think pretty much every smartphone will make it, as long as you got 
signal.
I've been using smartphones with Waze/Gmaps instead of my very old 
TomTom GPS, it's better in every point; bigger screen, uptodate, other 
users can make alerts in case of accidents, etc.
