Not entirely correct from my understanding.

CDMA (EVDO) networks only allow either voice or data at a time through the CDMA radio. But, the GPS system does not in any way require a CDMA connection to function, Its a different chipset (radio) and therefore is not hindered by the restrictions of EVDO networks.

I agree with the tip to try turning off the Assisted GPS system, Because thats the only part that requires a cell signal. The GPS may be slower, and a little less accurate, But it should work. If that still doesn't work, You got yourself a defective GPS chip my friend.
