AstroGPS + Data Connection Required?
 

Does anyone know why Astro requires a data connection to operate correctly?
I ask this because I travel to the States from Canada often and want to use my GPS software, but roaming data rates are expensive.

I installed the Nodata.cab and I couldn't get a gps lock, however when I enabled data I was able to get a lock. I thought with standalone software, a data connection would not be required.

I also tested this with iGo8, the same thing, when data is manually disabled it opens a connection when I launch the program.

i believe this turns off a piece of the harwareneeded by the gps if i try to use tomtom and turn phone in airplane mode it wont work im no help but just my .02

edit: did not mean airplane mode but i disable data from comm manager and gps does not function as well

Obviously it won't work with airplane mode on, the point of airplane mode is to totally disable incoming and outgoing signals including gps.
