Yes - for as long as the charge lasts (about 5 hours).
However they are a bit bulky for hand carrying and unlikely to be happy about getting wet.

And they "snap" your location to a drivable road where possible, so no use "off road" - don't have that sort of map anyway.
I tried the walking route in central London and got no signal around the tall buildings unless i stood in the middle of a crossroads!!

| Used it in Derby the other week. It works, but as said, snaps you to roads rather then pathways or redways etc. |
