As I said " 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." So how am I not being helpful? You started with me. Also, when you stated "Please reread the original post in this thread. He is not out of sat. view, as he states, "I'm having trouble getting a GPS lock when the cell phone service is disabled. As soon as I enable cell service, it locks easily." He was refering to actually being in an AIRPLANE. Not in "airplane mode". He corrected himself by stating "My built in GPS will not work on an airplane. (phone is not in airplane mode) It works great when anywhere else in the country where I have service..." So then that why I stated what I stated. There was no need for you to tell me to read again, or to Note "enabled, and diasabled" due to the fact that I am able to read. So, you started with me, and now your telling me I have comprehension issues?? Ok...Whatever you say. I apoligize to the original poster because this entire thread is a waste of his time. Im not going to discuss this any further.

Please show me where the poster says he will be IN an airplane.
