GPS on the vogue 6900 doesnt nee a data plan, it can be used without an internet connection.
The best way you can checkit is installing gpsviewer on your pda, then run gpsviewer select scan and it will be shown on port com 4 select this option com4
then select start gps, then select in the lower labels gps status and you will see your gps checking the satellites, the best way to try it for first time is on a window or in an open place it will take some minutes to lock some satellites then yout lattitude and longitude will be shown, also altitude.
try to move your direction will also be shown an will indicate the speed you are moving and there is no internet connection needed.
you can also use the gps in case your phone gets stolen.
you will use internet with the gps only if you use google maps from the internet, but if you get a program with the option to save and use the maps on your phone you will also use the option to know where you are with no internet connection .
