The difference makes it $5. So unless the Sprint guys in my area are lying to me about the price of the regular data plan, that's that.

Well I'm not going to twist your arm. Lol! And like I said, both server-based and stand-alone-based have their advantages and disadvantages. For me, Sprint Nav has the best combination of utility and value, and outweighs the inconvenience of being limited to areas with cell coverage.
And to be perfectly honest, personally, I'd probably purchase a stand-alone dedicated GPS unit if I found myself constantly traveling around the boonies, anyway.
