i just tried that, and guess what? no data. turned off my data, opened google maps. when i opened it, i wqas auto logged in to lattitude, witch uses data. i quickly signed out of latitude, turned off gps in settings on gmaps exited maps, turned the data back off. this was a good test to ensure data would auto start if it was needed. so i opened google maps and its got my location pretty close and no data has been transfered. data is still off. i wonder if we can get anexpert in here?
admission- after 7 minutes, something finally requested some data, but for all i know my push email turned it on.
