Ok I did a little research and I am half right in my answer. It depends on the application you are using for GPS. Google maps and some GPS software will require the internet to work.
I have never personally tries any TOM TOM nav software, just sprint NAV and google maps and I know they require the data connection.
The GPS chip does not need data connections to retrieve coordinates but will need send coordinates to software for display on a map. So if you have the full TOMTOM nav (I think 1+ gig in size) installed you probably will not need any data connection.
Does anyone else have any other knowledge on how this works?
