Data service has nothing to do with a GPS fix. Nothing at all. No data is used. GPS does not require any internet connection at all.

- ropiku 9y agoYou are technically true but if you don't have internet connection to get the almanac (future position of satellites) you have to wait 12.5 minutes to download it very slowly from the GPS itself. That's what parent was saying. It works but the time-to-fix is very high.

- Bud 9y agoThank you. I learned something from this. How often does that almanac need to be updated, however?
