GPS In Europe With Google Maps

[drxpsp9]

Can anyone give a detailed explanation of how to use the GPS on the iPhone while in Europe? I read through other posts in the forum on this topic, and nothing was very concise. I plan on adding the AT&T International Calling plan for $5.99 per month (making calls $0.99 per minute) and then also adding the World Traveler Data Plan ($55.99 per month for 50 MB of data transfers). So if I have these two services, will I won't need to turn off the Data Roaming, correct? And I will also be able to use the Google Maps with GPS function, correct? There is a lot of talk about WiFi and Data Roaming (turning these functions off and on) and it was very confusing. Any clarification would be very helpful.
Thanks.
Jim

Can't clarify your initial questions, but take a look at OffMaps. You can download the map tiles before travel, meaning you can use the GPS with no data needed.
