Reply With QuoteGPS on the Cruve/8800 is free, but the maps take data as they are not stored on the phone, but are downloaded as you need them...so GPS is sort of free and sort of not. The data usage isn't huge. I don't have any exact numbers, but it is reasonable.

so...
im hearing that i will be charged crazy amounts of data if i use my gps. is this true?
i thought gps was always a free service as is uses satellite rather than cellular towers.

My antenna is smaller than yours
I added on the $5 data plan as I am not on a BB plan right now. I tried bbmaps out, the amount downloaded is rather minimal.
