It depends on what GPS app you will be running on an iPod Touch.
Something like Navigon has all of its maps loaded onto the iDevice,
therefore no internet connection is needed. Other GPS apps, like the
sometime-to-be-released Seeing Eye GPS app from Sendero will require
an internet connection. Since an iPod can only connect to the
internet via WiFi any GPS app requiring the internet will not be much
use out on the road.
It's true that GPS apps get location information not just through the
GPS receiver and the signal it receives from GPS satellites, but also
by tapping into cell tower location information. However, I use an
iPhone with no cell plan and the cell phone receiver turned off. And,
I find using Navigon plenty accurate enough for my needs.

Hi.
I'm behind on messages and am slowly waiding through things. Just saw this
one and need to ask whether you need a data plan for the iPod Touch to be
able to be used with a receiver.
Thanks,
Dani

If a person buys a GPS app that downloads the maps to the device like
Navigon or Tom Tom, then an iPod Touch can be used for GPS.
I believe there are two or three blue tooth GPS receivers now that work with
iDevices. I have not seen or used any of them.
Duel Electronics and BadElf are two I remember discussions about a year or
more ago.
amazon sold them both and I'm thinking there is another, but I can't
remember the name.
I'd suggest a search on Amazon for blue tooth gps receiver and Apple to see
what is currently there.
