Touch Pro....can GPS be used without any service at all?

[box398]

I was given a Verizon Touch Pro (XV6850)


I want to use this only as a GPS unit with Garmin XT with custom maps , or similar....with no phone service attached to it at all..

is this possible?

I tested this with Google Maps, but I cannot get a GPS lock.....

1) do I need atleast some phone service attached for this to work?
2) or do I just need to install quickgps or get some settings right

thanks!



thanks for any input
