You are partially correct. Yes, GPS data has nothing to do with which dataplan you have. However, you must have a BB dataplan for the map applications. The GPS app gives you latitude and longitude data. The map app takes that data with the map data, gives you useful, visual information. Unless of course, you can navigate by lat/long data only.
