Well, the Garmin GPS will not work with the device in Flight Mode. If I turn the phone and data on, get a GPS lock and then turn it off, after a couple minutes, the GPS loses all satelites.
I was under the impression that the bonus of using Garmin or TOMTOM was that since the maps were stored locally, you can use the gps without a data/phone connection. Am I completely wrong?
I have tried this with the newest OEM Sprint ROM and OMJ's "bare bones" ROM.

Flight mode disables the phone's radio completely, which includes the GPS function. It's my understanding that GPS uses the data service to make the connection. Not sure if theres anyway around that.
