    I have an iphone 4 that I use for tracking my bike rides (with an GPS based app called strava). I am planning to upgrade my phone to one of the bigger phablet type jobbies that I probably won't want to carry around on long bike rides (too big and too costly if it gets damaged in a fall). Will the old iphone 4still pick up GPS if it does not have a SIM?

    If not, is there any way to make it work without paying too much (ie <50euro)

    Once it's unlocked you should be able to use any old free sim in it.

    I used an old iPhone 3G with no SIM as a GPS for my car, worked pretty well, the iPhone uses Assisted GPS which uses the Mobile Network (If available) to pin-point location, if there is no Sim card (therefore no Mobile Network) then it can sometimes take a while to lock on location.
