Budget phones are notorious for having very inaccurate GPS antennas, so the locations would be wild all over the place (I know from experience). If you used such a phone, you’d assume that you need internet for GPS, which isn’t true. (I had thay assumption once) GPS is a separate part of your phone, and should be reliable even without internet.
Midrange phones should have a reliable enough GPS, and perhaps even budget ones, if it’s modern enough and from a reputable manufacurer.
Since you mentioned the US, you can go to Bestbuy and just look though their GPS units, they are anywhere from $50 to $200, those standalone units should be the most reliable, but for those, you’ll need to update the maps via a computer frequently, or you might end up getting directions through a road that might not exist anymore.
Or just any modern phone with a local pre-downloaded map would work as well, although phone GPS is slightly less accurate than a standalone GPS unit. Phone maps would be easier to update, becaude you don’t need to download extra software or connect to a computer.
I think you might have an old budger phone.
