Although I agree that it doesn't REQUIRE an internet connection, I must 
say that all my phones are a LOT quicker at getting a fix when there is 
an internet connection. This is very noticeable when I use it for 
navigation abroad (turned of extortionate roaming). I typically have no 
problem getting a GPS fix indoors at work (3rd floor, but not top) when 
I have an internet connection.
