use of TomTom app on iPhone 4s without cellular network

I want to use the TomTom App when the iPhone is in airplane mode (or is there any other way to interfere with the network - without removing the sim).

This because I have a special carphone with dualsim and for correct use the iPhone must be switched off from the network. Then TomTom app states: "bad GPS connection". Is there a way to avoid that? Bluetooth can be switched on in airplane mode, so a mobile GPS receiver could be connected. But will the iPhone put the signal through is the question?

Thx!

iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1.1, with original TomTom App

Why not just disable the carphone then? If you have an iPhone then there's 2 phones being actively used.

You could also make Wi-Fi work in airplane mode, but you would need a constant wi-fi signal for that.

Thx for replying.

Disabling the carphone is of course an option, but

I've an BMW with an integrated phone en audio system with an adapter for the iPhone as a music carrier. So the music on the iPhone can played on the carsystem and also the TomTom instruction can be heard over the speakers. So, disabling the carphone forces me to get a bluetooth kind of system for the iPhone. That is last resort but possible indeed.

Anyone?
