That's free, and not considered "data". The iPhone's built-in map application needs to get online to get actualy map data. But there are third party apps that provide offline access to map data, and can use GPS to locate you. FidesReef is a company that makes some okay maps. I suspect there are others. When I'm in the US, I try and find free Wifi. WifiTrack is pretty good for scanning for open networks. And jiwire "free wifi" is okay for a list of free wifi hotspots. Mostly, I want to know more about the T-Mobile plan CitizenZiggy wrote about. That's exciting! I thought there was no reasonably priced pay-as-you go data plan to be found...
