Default Phone app question

For anyone that has used the location deal on the phone I know it is pretty accurate here in the city and the outskirts but what about when you are in the woods. Has anyone used an app while on a trail?

Backpacker.com has a free app for Driod and another for I phones. Plan on trying it this weekend.

That one made for Driod operating system. The Trimble outdoor from Backpacker hasn't got the best reviews.
