You will still need air time. No phone has a full map of North America installed on it, or even a city for that matter. The GPS will know were you are, the phone needs to suck in the map of the local area around you to show you.
At least that's the way I understand it. That's why a true GPS unit will still be needed for hiking/navigation or bombing around in the sticks, they all have a full, detailed map pre-installed on them.
