When I use BB GPS while driving, is this requiring data or not ? Thanks

Data would usually be used to load the map information if I am not mistaken.

sv115 is correct. If you are using the GPS while moving, the mapping software will be downloading new maps periodically as you move.

thank you so much for the input! I thought BB map is pre-loaded, so that data is not needed just like regular GPS. hope one day navigon or tomtom develop a software for BB just like iphone.

If you need preloaded maps, you might want to consider TrekBuddy and Mobile GMaps. These are the only two mapping apps that I know of for the BlackBerry that don't use real-time data. I haven't used either.

Blackstar Navigation doesn't use data...but there are no maps. It is strictly a latitude/longitude and waypoint tracking/geocaching tool.
