Does the gps on iphone need internet connection?

Question

does the gps application or any other applications cost internet data storage on iphone? e.g do i have to pay for gps every time i use it ?

Answer 1

You won't be paying for the GPS itself, but you will need an internet connection to display the maps from Google in the current implementation of mapping and GPS on the iPhone 3G.

Answer 2

No, the GPS on the 3G iPhone uses a real GPS receiver to pinpoint your location even if you do not have any cell connections and you don't have to pay for GPS signal reception because it is paid for by our tax dollars.
