R redvolvodavid macrumors newbie Original poster May 3, 2010 #1 So, from the best buy guy, he said that I have to have 3g service for the gps to work. Is that true? Will it still use triangulation even without the service paid? Anyone tried this?

P phillyred79 macrumors regular May 3, 2010 #2 GPS will work fine without the 3G service being activated or even turned on.
