Mobile device navigation to a location having communication access to or connectivity with a wireless network

A communication device comprising:

• a global positioning device;
• a display;
• memory having stored thereon a map module and a return to service module for navigating to a location with communication signals to a wireless network;
• and
• one or more processors communicatively coupled to the global positioning device, the display and the memory, the one or more processors executing program code of the map module and the return to service module, which enables the communication device to:
• detect a loss of a first communication signal from the wireless network;
• receive signal loss location data, the signal loss location data corresponding to a first location where the first communication signal from the wireless network was lost;
• retrieve from the memory first navigation data corresponding to a first route between a starting location and an end location;
• and
• generate and present second navigation data based on the first navigation data and the signal loss location data, the second navigation data corresponding to a second route between a current location and a second location that is an additional route distance past the first location towards a start location.

A computer program product comprising:

• a non-transitory computer readable storage device having stored thereon program code which, when executed by one or more processors of a communication device having a global positioning system device, a display and memory enables the communication device to complete the functionality of:
• detecting a loss of a first communication signal from a wireless network;
• receiving signal loss location data corresponding to a first location where the first communication signal from the wireless network was lost;
• retrieving, from the memory, first navigation data corresponding to a first route between a starting location and an end location;
• and
• generating and presenting second navigation data based on the first navigation data and the signal loss location data, the second navigation data corresponding to a second route between a current location and a second location that is an additional route distance past the first location towards a start location.
