GPS as it is does not need a data connection.
Only Assisted GPS need that, but it can be switched off.
Geotagging your photos also doesn't need a data conection.

According to my comprehensive internet search 5KB of data every minute or two, unconfirmed... Sounds reasonable to budget for that amount.
If your really concerned use AGPS to achieve your first lock in Rome, and then switch it off.

AGPS should only need the few kB the first time it connects, when it gets a satellite signal it can get the remaining info from there.

IF you already have the maps on the phone, disable the internet conection and use only GPS.
Or better, you dont need to use internet to lock your position, just start ovi maps, and wait for GPS to lock your position and you are ready.

So my question is:
-In the maps app, after acquiring the lock in the GPS can I just turn off the internet connection and continue with the GPS connection? I would like to rent a car to go out from Rome, I know insane.., but I am concerned about the costs (ps, I have downloaded the maps to the device so not downloading maps on the go) of moving around with the GPS on and the thing always using more internet.
-Geo tagging, is the internet connection necessary every time I take a picture to geo tag it? Kinda beats the purpose for me.
Anyone?
I turned off data connection and assisted GPS, it usually took around 2 minutes to lock on the position, faster if you have used GPS just recently and not far from you previous position. After that, the tracking work very well.
I couldn't search because no data connection, however, I don't know how to enter and search with Arabic anyway
