Hi
Assisted GPS will use few kilobutes of data to get the GPS almanac. This
will however only speedup the start of receiver. I'm not sure if it can
be disabled on iPHone.
External receivers do not use AGPS over the cellular network.

The cellular data is to fetch the map information, not get the gps signal,
that latter isi ndeed free!
Nothing short of a gps app with built in, or downloaded and hhosted on the
device, will overcome this. Navigon is the one you buy and hold maps for
without having to constantly go fetch the next bit. I hope someone will
correct any inconsistencies in this, but this is the general form.

Subject: GPS options for my 3-GS
Although this probably borders on heresy for this list, I use my iPhone
3-GS exclusively as a wifi device, no phone service other than Skype. I
do so because I am not anxious to incur exorbitant charges for data. One
thing which I presently do not have is GPS access.
Something I read from a couple of messages this afternoon suggested that
if I used an external GPS receiver with my 3-GS, I would not incur data
charges. I may well have misunderstood. So now for the questions. If I
purchase an external GPS receiver, will this somehow obviate the need
for cellular data? The only external GPS receiver I have heard of is
something called Bad Elf. Are there better choices? Lastly, if I bite
the bullet and purchase a data plan, is there any sort of GPS receiver
in my 3-GS?
Thanks for any feedback.
