Does GPS require a data plan (since it queries an IP)?

[crobs808]

Here is the deal...

I have had a Touch Pro for 5 months now, but my wife and I are cutting down on our bills, so we are getting rid of data plans, which means I ened to switch phones, since data plan is forced on the TouchPro.

However, I still want a Smartphone. According to Verizon (who has forced data now on all Smartphones), these are the only smartphones that you can get now that do not require a data plan: Palm Centro, MOTO Q9c, SMT5800, XV6900, and the SCH-i760.

So, the closest thing to the TouchPro is the XV6900, so I opted for that one. This way my wife and I can cut $90 off our bill, since she already has the SMT5800 which also one of the ones that does not require a data plan.

To make a long story short - I am wanting to use GPS on my XV6900 when I get it (it is in the main now), and the only threads I see for getting GPS working all require changing an IP in the configuration/hidden settings. I had to do this with my TouchPro, but I had data on that, so my question is...

Will I need a data plan to use GPS since it points to an IP to get information?

Thanks
