I think it's important to specify what you are trying to do!
If latitude, longitude, elevation, and time are all you need/want
from your phone, it's easy.
Most of us expect a little more. I want a map display with my current
position marked on the map. The display on just about any phone is
a little too small IMHO. I use a GPS receiver plugged into my laptop
running "Street Atlas USA" that can give me an easily readable display.
Some people sneer! You're welcome. It meets MY needs. YMMV!
And with some phones having 3 or more inch screen displays, there's no
reason you can't have a map on your gps enabled cell phone.
A three inch screen is pitiful! My laptop has a 13" diagonal screen. It's a creaking antique; I don't think they make them that small any longer. I find it quite satisfactory, especially when compared to the same display on my phone. The screen on my phone is 2-1/4" diagonal.
