By default, I belive this is the case, however there are ways around it if your comfortable with modifying your phone.  You must delete a string in your registery so that you can fully modify your internet connection settings, its the same process for tethering your phone, except when you get into “connections” I deleted the at&t internet connection, which keeps the device from connecting to the data connection.  I do still get a pop up message from time to time saying it can not connect to the data plan, but you just have to press dismiss, the wifi and gps both work great still.  When using google maps, I turn the “use gps” option on and make sure I am my wifi is connected to load a map of the local area then I am good to go.  You get the popup message about the data plan quiet offten, but the map still stays there and your gps shows exactly where your at.  I think garmin or tomtom would work a lot better since the maps are loaded on the device, but I dont have either one to try.

Hi Ftahir,

Had the same problem and fixed it. pls see my post in troublshooting under ims.cingular\

here is a brief descript

Hi everyone,

I finally figured out the problem !!! Here is what I found. When deleting a connection in setup it does not seem to delete it in the registry properly. I found a blog that showed you on the blackjack II and epix on how to change the registry connections to allow more than 1 internet connection. I went and followed the steps which were all set properly to allow more than 1 connection. BUT what I did find was that in the registry under connections there was still IMS.cigular connection and a wap.cingular connection even though I did not have them listed in my connections tab (in setup). So I proceeded to delete them from the registry and only left the fido connection that I needed and believe it or not Garmin works like a charms.

Thanks everyone for their input and help.

Maybe we should include this a a bug in the Epix.
