Submission + - Ask Slashdot: Best Android Phone for Handheld GPS? 1

imblum writes: So my dad's antique handheld GPS unit just went toes up and I was considering replacing it for him with an old Android Smartphone. All he really needs it for is hunting and camping (no navigation), so I don't want to pay for cell or data service. I found the program 'Mobile Atlas Creator' ( http://mobac.dnsalias.org/ ) to download map files onto the SD card, and an app called 'Maverick Lite' to view them. Now all I need is to decide on an Android phone. I was considering a Samsung Behold II ($100~$200 on craigslist), but thought it would be nice to get some input from the slashdot community. It seems like I can get a lot more functionality for the money out of an old Android than I could from a big name handheld GPS. Does this plan sound reasonable? Is there anything I'm overlooking?
