But data is not required to run the program.

You are right. If you are using the standalone chip in your phone you don't need a data connection. Don't believe me? Shut the phone radio off in the Comm Manager and try to get a GPS lock. It might take longer than aGPS but it can be done. So before you go out telling people you need a data plan, why don't you try doing it with no data connection/phone off.
