False. I had both Europe and US Maps loaded. I couldnt even get a GPS hit while I was using google maps over wifi.

The brand of GPS processor in the mogul is GPSone which is a aGPS chip.

Another thing I found annoying about the Mogul GPS is that is tied to the radio. If you turned the radio off then GPS doesnt work.
