GPS without Cell
 
My apologies if this has already been answered, but I could only find threads specific to the original Touch Pro. I will be using my CDMA Touch Pro 2 in Europe next month, and may not have GSM coverage in some of the places I'll be. Will the phone make a GPS lock without CDMA or GSM cell coverage? I'd be using a stand alone GPS app, not Google maps or the like.

It should work but it may take a bit longer to get a lock with no cell tower info. Be sure to run quick GPS when you get there, maybe that will help.

To check for yourself, simply disable the phone and run your GPS software. Use the Comm Manager to turn the phone off and then launch your GPS package. It should work just fine. If it does here, it should anywhere.
