GPS without a data connection?

---

I have a Kaiser running WM6.1.
I have a separate GPS that can access satellites or whatever and give me directions to places without any subscription fees or anything...
The Kaiser has GPS capabilities built in.
I have Google Maps, which I love, as long as I'm on wireless.
My question is, is there any program I can put on my phone that will make it behave like my other GPS, accessing satellites instead of data connection to give me maps, or even just GPS-based directions? Better yet, can I download maps from Google somehow and have Google Maps use GPS instead of data connection?
Thanks!

TomTom Navigator, Garmin Moble XT, iGo, etc... um, SEARCH?

I have found TerraCrosser to be a very good GPS app from my Tilt. It has a companion desktop app that you can download map files from Goggle/Yahoo map. The can get very large depending on how much detail you desire. So have an SD card ready.

You're misunderstanding - Google maps like any other GPS programs do use the Kaiser's internal GPS to get your position/speed/heading. However, as it has no local map storage (except the cache of already visited places) it needs data connection to download the map tiles as you move. Google map is also a "dumb" interface, when you ask for directions it will submit that to the google server and just display the response to you.

What you need is one of the aforementioned programs - that have their local map on the memory card, and do all the work themselves without requiring some server on the net to do it for them.
