    Morning All,

    Just a quick question...

    Is it possible to use the iphone 4S as a Sat Nav without having 3G connection turned on?

    Is there an App or SW I would need to download?

    Im looking to use the phone in the same way you would use a Garmin or TomTom, etc.

    Thanks

    Investigate Tom Tom and co pilot. Both I believe can work in gps mode as apposed to gprs. ie. Data off data on. fixes will take longer I think.

    GPS Navigation works just as well as Tom Tom for a fraction of the price. All you have to do is buy the map which is €2.99 for ireland I think and you can use it offline.

    I've used Tom Tom internationally with data rooming turned off. It's all on the phone/gps. No data

    There are free alternatives like Navfree which I've used abroad without a 3G connection however you do need phone coverage.

    I tired NavFree before.

    I found it very inconsistent at best.
