    You do not need to write down your directions before you leave the house. GPS gets your location from satellites, it gets map data from cellular towers.
    So just download the map region on your phone over WiFi before leaving. Your phone still knows where you are, and if you download the map data, it can still navigate you without service. It just won't have live traffic data.

    Some of you have kept your land line phones so if there is a power outage, our phone will still work. With a land line you would not get an interruption if our satellites were shut down. It is interesting that your phone companies are trying to remove the land lines because most people use cell phones. Your cell phones and your phones using wi-fi signals would not work if you had a power outage.
