Hell, in Pokemon go it gets me down to about 10


thats probably using cell tower triangulation though.

Direct Satellite cell phones are not really an every day thing.

Or is my entire life some kind of lie?

Dunno. My phone works on GPS as long as I loaded the map before leaving service area.

I can be out in the woods hunting, well outside cell coverage but I can find myself on the map.

New-generation cell phones combine many devices into one. When traveling, one of the most convenient of these features is the built-in GPS. When visiting a place that you aren't familiar with, getting lost is a lot harder when you have turn-by-turn directions on your cell phone. Even the cell phones that don't have GPS can use cell tower position and distance to calculate your location. Cell phones function by communicating with towers connected to a base station in a configuration called a "cell." As you move through the cell, the base station monitors your cell phone's signal and transfers it to the nearest tower.
