I know that the phone is capable of getting the GPS signal, just can't seem to find an app that will show me when there is no data.
you'll need to download/cache the map offline (and ideally sit near a window, where the GPS signal is slightly better)
try HERE maps or MAPS.me (both have free offline download options), which menas you can download the map
you need quite some space though, HERE is 14GB for North/Central America, 22GB for europe, 12GB for asia etc.
MAPS.me downloads the basic global map (which allows you to zoom a little), before prompting you to download specific state/country
you can also download stuff like "GPS test", which shows you the lat/lon/speed/altitude (but no map). and bring a paper map?
