GPS Data Charge

Hi was in vodafone shop yesterday, looking at v1615 and got talking about GPS. I assumed that mobile GPS involves phone and software and thats all spending done the guy in the shop said that GPS involves connection hence a data charge, is this true and what approx is the average data charge.

Thanks

Marc

GPS itself does not use the cellular radio. If you get a standalone GPS app, there is no data charge. You can confirm this if you want by turning off the phone, wifi, and bluetooth radios, then using GPS. If you use the App included on the AT&T tilt, this application connects to the internet to download map data, and you will be charged for data. Applications like Garmin XT, or many other available applications do not use data connections at all.
