This is not completely true. The touch MSM 7500 chip also works as a stand alone GPS even if cellular service is not available. With aGPS in our Touch, a cellular connection simply makes positioning faster and more accurate, but is not required. The only reason it isnt working for you is because you put the phone into airplane mode which disables ALL radios, including the GPS. When youre in Europe do not disable your radio. You will not get cellular service but your GPS will still work. Just make sure you leave the radios active, and you'll be fine
