Thanks for rubbing it in but this did not happen to me it was just a general question.
The reason I ask is because the locate feature on maps does not work for some reason and I tried the restore option using backups and it did not resolve the issue. I figure that it is something in the backup and a restore wiping the device and not applying the backup would resolve this issue but as it was mentioned I will loose the apps I downloaded for free that now are not.

Actually, I think I've deleted and redownloaded an app that I got for free and is now paid, and I didn't get charged for it. I say "I think" because I was deleting and redownloading several apps at once to try to fix the conflicting updating problem between the Touch and iTunes, so I'm not really sure what I did with regards to each individual app, but I do know that my current solution to the update problem involves deleting and redownloading the updated apps rather than trying to update them, and I also know that some of those apps I've been "updating" in this manner are no longer free. So I'm pretty sure, though not 100% certain, that you can delete a formerly free app and redownload it again w/o being charged.

my guess is you'd have to pay for it. there's probably no record of you having downloaded it before. . is there?

Oh, there definitely should be a record of all downloads you make! Just sign in to your iTunes account on your computer, go to Store -> View Your Account, and you'll see all the "purchase" you made, even the free ones.
Actually even if they change the price you can re-download for free. I have tried and proven it.
