Not really, gps isn’t all that reliable, when you are using consumer gps modules. When used in conjunction with other navigation systems in places where there is no gnss spoofing or jamming (which can be done by average individual and require little expenses) it works great.
That’s a great way to put it. Your personal device probably can’t show a map without network because it doesn’t have that map downloaded, but it does know your coordinates. I doubt that’s a problem S&R has, though.
Yeah, for lack of a better explaination, GPS is just yelled at you from space everywhere on earth.
Yelled is a very loud word for what it is, it’s barely a whisper.
Yet it reaches every surface on earth, certainly every forest surface.

My tomtom from 1998 has its maps downloaded locally.
Roads have changed significantly since 1998.
Depends where you are…
