The GPS programs detected and connected to my GPS system in the phone but could not find sats or if they were found with GPSViewer, it wouldnt lock in to them eventhough it would see about 7 sats or so. Kindda fishy. PS: By the way, many people do use AGPS if supported by their phone and service and if one can find the solution to their problem it is more convenient to use AGPS because you get quicker and more accurate locks using Towers and Sats at the same time.

Re: GPS function do they need Data connection?
I was in a similar situation. I was in Canada and didn't want to Roam Internationally. So, I put my phone in Flight Mode. The GPS would not work at all in FLight Mode. I was using Garmin-XT. I tried every regedit that was posted and nothing. As soon as I turned off Flight Mode, it would get a lock. I wasn't using the data connection or the phone.... but Flight mode turned off the radio which would then turn off the GPS. I even posted this a while ago on http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=31539

Re: GPS function do they need Data connection?
I tried TomTom with data connection turned off using the Modaco "no data" cab and couldn't get nothing. I tried it again with data connection turned on and got instant locks. It needs data connection to get the intial lock and then you can turn off the data connection through comm manager. I expect to incur a small roaming charge when using this in the States.
