Hi, um, been a long time reader..but have never had to post, everyone's helpful and info is everywhere..but i searched the faq for this and couldn't find an answer..
my question is...if in the camera settings i enable geotagging..
will that solely use the gps...or will it use data?
im currently not on a BB data plan, so I'd like to know whether enabling this option and avoid extra charges...
oh okay, see i thought i'd be solely the gps since it doesnt need to load any google map squares for example, it's just getting coordinates as far as i can tell.. but then again i dont know exactly how the geotagging works
GPS itself, fixing your location, does not use your data package. However all you get from that is a GPS location/lat-long, etc. If you want to view where you are on a map, data needs to flow.
You should actually determine if the GPS-enabled app you're using requires data. I suspect that for geocaching/tagging that only the location is recorded as Jsanders said. Again, it depends on the app. If it's mapping your location as you tag then it probably uses data...
