    You need a BIS data plan for the map to retrieve data.

    Yes, you don't need BIS for the GPS location to work.

    But you DO need BIS for the map data to work.

    The GPS is working as a GPS but the maps are image files that should be downloaded according to your location so you need a data connection to use GPS with the maps.
