Re: Use GPS in Airplane Mode?

The GPS should still connect, it will just take it longer. In order to speed up the time it takes to get a lock, the phone uses the aGPS, which gets data information from cell towers in order to find you quicker. By switching the phone to airplane mode, you cut off the aGPS. The GPS receiver will still work, but it could take awhile since the phone is designed to use both.
