I am looking for the best personal monitor to use in my workouts. I mainly jog and ride bikes in the mountains near home. I have looked at a few of them but I am a little confused. Should I get the gps feature or just the monitors? What about hooking it up to my pc to save the data, does that help or is it just one more thing that doesn’t get done?

Can the iPhone 3G use the GPS and Maps app when not near cell phone service?

I was hoping I could use my iPhone 3G when going off road as an actual hand held GPS device. Can it do that or must you be near a cell phone tower?
so to clarify, you are able to use your GPS/Maps function in areas without cell phone coverage? Like in the desert or mountains? Where there are no cell phone towers?
