That does assume internet...I now drive an 18 wheeler.  It happens quite
often that I am in the middle of the country and... no internet.  I am in a
truckstop surrounded by metal trucks... no internet.  I am backed into a
door with a huge metal building between me and the cell tower.  No internet.

Internet is not a given if you are out in the world.
