GPS function why do they need Data connection? can someone point out?

[ecgz88]

Use Garmin XT

tried "home only", won't pick up GPS Signal at all, keep searching GPS Device
tried "flight mode" will work sometimes, then GPS freeze, have to reboot and put phone back in roaming mode.

"flight mode" for TomTom won't work at all

can someone point out?

HKLM/Software/HTC/SUPL AGPS
EnableAGPS=0
EnableGPSSmartMode=0
GPSMode=1

my phone is set to the above and works great!
it never needs/or initiates a data connection... i can get locks in flight mode as well
