The latter is not true. Set your phone to 'Device only' instead of the default 'High accuracy'. The latter is not a high accuracy at all and some apps even can't handle that. Device only os only dependant on satellites and not on cell coverage at all, so it just works like an etrex.
Even on the plane above the ocean, when the phone is held near a window, the GPS works flawlessly.
