Question about GPS

I was wondering if I could turn off aGPS on the x8 because I know that when you use the aGPS it uses data, and i don't have a data plan. I dont want to have any extra charges. Also are there any free navigation softwares that give voice turn by turn guided navigation with just using GPS and not a wifi/data connection?

You cannot switch off just aGPS. There are a number of navigation applications with sound. Navigon, igomyway, NDrive, IGomoto nav are some of them. All are paid versions. These applications download maps to your SD card so they do not need data connection to show maps. To avoid GPS using data traffic you can switch off data traffic. Go to Settings> Wireless and Network Settings> Mobile Networks and uncheck Data Traffic option.
