Does GPS still work Without service plan? (WiFi only) *Help Please*

I canceled my plan, which they told me I would only have WiFi available for me.

I downloaded the app, motionx gps drive. Would the GPS still work once I leave my house (WiFi signal)?

GPS works without anything. The iphone has a GPS receiver that works without anything else.

The maps on which the location is plotted often require an internet connection. I don't know about your app, but Tomtom and others store their maps on the iphone and no connection of any kind.

Either way, you should be able to get the maps via wi-fi - if your app does not store them locally on the iphone.
If it does store them locally, then you need no connection at all.

BTW, leave the SIM card that was active in the iphone. Without it you cannot upgrade or restore.
