[QUOTE="tiger roach, post: 1022765, member: 97286"] I don't know that it is that cut-and-dried. Once you have the hardware with GPS, it could very well be able to do satellite positioning without having the 3G data service turned on. My Garmin does. ;) OTOH I have noticed at least one of my GPS-enabled apps on the iPhone will triangulate (roughly) using cell towers if it isn't getting a good satellite signal. So unless Apple has said for sure one way or another, we may not know until the device is on the street. [/QUOTE]
