It is a real active GPS chip. You do not need a data connection to make it work. However I heard there and there on the forum that if you disable Phone the GPS won't fix. To confirm...

But to answer you, no, there is no need for a GPRS/EDGE/UMTS connection.

The Diamond is not delivered by any kind of navigation software. It has Google Maps, but you cannot use it while driving because it doesn't give you real time navigational instructions. However, you can buy Tomtom or NavNGo iGO8
