So NO data transmission is Necessary AT ALL. NADA. ZILCH. YOU DONT NEED DATA TO NAVIGATE.

U do not understand at all. There are 4 types of A-GPS standalone, MS-implied,MS-assisted, Hybrid. There is only one of those 4 Is in each device. if u have standalone, Ur device is totally by it's own. The rest of the types needed assistance all the time. It means that if U are in a non coverage area. U cannot navigate.
