I didn't even realize Qualcomm removed the built in FM radio from their chips. Huh.

GPS works anywhere on earth and doesn't require a cell connection, it even works in airplane mode, so you really can't get lost if you have the maps app (which you probably do)
IF you have the local maps downloaded.
Mapping apps like Magic Earth are a lot faster than Google Maps, especially when outside good cell coverage, and it's easy to download maps in advance for wherever you're going to be.
Yeah, this was years back when people were running around with candy bar phones. I'm not saying "you need this to deal with getting lost", but rather just that running out of power is a concern.
