Can the Google Maps be used together as per GPS device (without data connection, just GPS) in the Samsung i900.

I am afraid it is not possible.
Is there any freeware for GPS? I've lost the NavFone software Passkey from day 1 and they are not oblige to let me have another even though I have never install it before.

Hi Symphony,
From my Google maps, I am able to select Menu-> Options-> Use GPS
Is that the same as using GPS without data connection? Of course I understand that Google maps have no turn by turn navigation.

Sadly you still cannot use the Google Map as a standalone software offline although it looks like it can. You need an online connection. The map data you cached is not enough. When the map is in use for GPs navigation it will start to look for data and try to connect to GPRS.
You need to use third party commercialware such as Google Navigator 5.5 etc. see
