Assuming there are cell towers out there in the middle of the desert.  And the Border Patrol doesn't use the info to focus on the paths recommended by the cell phones.

No cell towers needed.  The native GPS app can store waypoints.

 Are you people really that stupid or do you just play stupid on TV?  This really takes the cake on the Xenophobia that ails you folks.  I'd just love to pose one question to you:

Consider that these are people who can't read or write, the poorest of the poor, people who have to risk their lives and walk thru the desert to get to the US in hopes of bettering their poverty-ridden existences, people who are forced to subside in their own country for about $2 a day, how the fuck do you think these people can afford cell phones and enhance them with all kinds of gadgets?

 

Are you all mentally retarded or what?
