This radio does that since it contains a GPS, see specs. Also serves as a backup for your radio should it fail, especially if you have Verizon cell service on the water and can't get a signal! So my reasoning was serves both as a backup to the GPS and the radio.

I also have the Droid GPS with Navionics.

Ok, I got it now! Thanks. I have AT&T so I have good range on my iPhone.
