As far as I know it's not possible to use google maps without data connection...
You'll need 3rd party app:Igo8, tomtom, sygic mobile, etc if you want maps without data connection...
You'll only need gpsplex(or similar) for using multiple gps apps...

Other sat nav programs are not needed for googlemaps, the default TG01 com port is 9 with a baudrate of 4500, but updated roms can change that (mine is com4 atm).

More accurate:the default TG01 com port is GPD9!

AFAIK Google Maps 4.1 (not 1.4) cannot work without data connection as all maps data are off-board (on Google servers).

As it has been said : iGo (8 or Primo) works great. TomTom may have problems connecting to GPS but that should be ok if using GPSMod Driver.

(I hate TomTom since the day I discored iGo)

And COM is GPD9 as bib*oops said (this is a virtual serial port) and speed is 4800 bauds (not 4500).

if these aren't still work. Please try to serch GPSGate.

I think google maps need data connections, won't work on GPS solely. However, I tried something called 'Rummble' - not a map app, but free on market place for finding nearest 'spots of interest' if that's what you want to use it for. It detects ur location by GPS but doesn't generate the list of nearest 'spots of interest' without data connection!

tanks for all the help guys, but i have managed to get it sorted out in june! cheers anyway to all those who contributed
