This is true, \HKLM\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS\GPSMode = 0 turns off aGPS (or Valhalla reg keys alternatively) and lets you run in standalone mode (see wiki for GPSone chip here).

You need to be careful though becuase there are a bunch of programs that may try to query the web for settings (i.e. QuickGPS, GPS toggle, Google maps, etc) so you need to know that your program isn't trying to access. A quick test would be to change #777 to #222 or something funny and see if it gives you the bubble that states that it "cannot connect for some unknown reason". Do your experimentation a few days before the end of your bill cycle so you can see what your data usage is (or dial #DATA or whatever that verizon code is and check the balance before and after testing).
