Shitty software used on a laptop has no relevance to the question he's
asking.

Plenty of folks find GPS on smartphones to be a very useful solution.

It's useful if you can't afford anything better!

Since you claim you don't like or want to use a smartphone how would you
know that?

When/where did I claim that? I believe that a RAZR V3M qualifies as a
"smartphone" and that's what I have.

A RAZR V3M isn't a smartphone, it is about as dumb a phone as it is
possible to buy. In fact, come to think of it, it is dumber that most
dumb phones you can buy these days; a V3M is obsolete. My Nokia 6700
is a dumbphone according to the phone companies, but will still play
youtube videos and make a reasonable attempt at rendering full HTML web
pages.

I understand you like your V3M anyway but if you are judging smartphones
by your experience with that then I can see where your confusion lies.
