"Resume your own nav"?
So When you get handed off from a tower to a departure,
Cessnaxxx: Approach, Cessna 123 with you 3000'
Approach: Cesnna 123 roger, resume your own navagation.
Does this also give me permission to change my altitute to whatever I desire?
thanks!

From the pilot controller glossary:
RESUME OWN NAVIGATION- Used by ATC to advise a pilot to resume his/her own navigational responsibility. It is issued after completion of a radar vector or when radar contact is lost while the aircraft is being radar vectored.

I agree with this. If you are on flight following, it is courtesy to advise the controller prior to altitude changes.
If you are in class B airspace it's different...you are cleared in at a certain altitude, and will need to maintain that, or another assigned, altitude until told otherwise (or leaving B).

What if you are in C airspace below B airspace?
Let me be more particular.
Let say that at ground controller gave you a departure restriction to stay at or below 3000. So once you are airborn tower hands you off to departure, and departure now tells you to "resume your own nav". Does this mean I have to stay at or below 3000' or since departure said "resume your own nav", am I cleared to climb?
