You don't need a reg hack to run your GPS stand alone it will already. I use Garmin Mobile xt and it rocks.I load the maps on my card and yes it works while in a call or with the radio off (flight mode). I would say you'd have to DL the map of the area your going to.

Sorry, I don't have the direct link. It is in one of the GPS threads on this forum.
Good Luck...Brad

Sorry this is not needed. GPS has worked stand alone since the leaked rom. The difference now is you don't have to use Google maps or Live search to launch your GPS Garmin/tomtom will do it for you ,But I must say I also do the A-GPS edit but its not necessary for GPS.
