Will Iphone GPS work in Spain?

My husband and I are going to Spain in a couple of months and plan on driving, will my gps in my iphone 3g work?

GPS is Global Positioning Satellite it will work globally.
Iphone gets its maps from the internet. Your iphone will know where it is, but without internet access, there will not be a map on which to plot that location.
As long as you have internet access, you will have access to maps.

  • If I buy a used iPhone 4 without a data plan will the GPS work?

    I live in Canada and am a complete newbie when it comes to cell phones and data plans. I am not interested in having or paying for cellular telephone capability.
    I've been using the 64 Gb iPod Touch 4 but detest its 0.7 Mb still camera and bemoan its lack of GPS.
    Now that the iPhone 4S has been released, there are many folks selling their older iPhone 4s. I'd love to use one of these older iPhone units with their better camera and GPS capability, but don't want to pay for a data plan, nor am I willing to pay $850 for an unlocked iPhone 4S. I'm happy to continue using wireless internet and don't need a cell phone.
    Being a newbie when it comes to data plans and cell phones, if I purchase a used iPhone 4 from someone:
    1. Does it need a SIM card (activated or not) to use the GPS on it? If yes, must a deactivated SIM card be provided by the seller or where can I obtain one?
    2. Does the iPhone 4 need to be on a cellular plan to use the GPS?
    3. I can use a deactivated iPhone 4 on WiFi only as I've been doing with the iPod Touch 4, correct?
    4. If I can use a deactivated, non-contract iPhone 4 on WiFi only, will the GPS work and allow me to use GPS-enabled apps? If yes, does it somehow still "tie"into available local cell networks to achieve a position without me paying for (or being registered for) cellular access?
    5. Can future iOS upgrades (say to iOS5) still be performed on a deactivated iPhone 4 without a cell plan?
    6. Do I need to purchase the iPhone 4 from a Canadian seller given my above questions? What other questions do I need to ask of the seller when looking for a used iPhone 4?
    Thanks in advance for any help with my newbie questions!

    Thanks for that, Paulfromwallasey. I live in a rural area without many cell towers and with WiFi only in my home. I do use offline maps (topographical and street maps) on my iPod Touch 4 outdoors (not needing a signal, WiFi or cellular). I also have a hand-held Garmin GPS receiver but would rather use the GPS in the iPhone (its positional accuracy, while likely being lower than that obtained from my Garmin, is likely sufficient for my needs).
    I guess that one of the questions that I was asking is if I were to purchase a used iPhone 4 from someone, and the SIM card have been removed, would the device's GPS still work with GPS-enabled apps (albiet without the cellular-assist)?
    Can any pay-as-you-go SIM card be purchased for and used in a deactivated iPhone4? Would this even be necessary for the GPS?
    Thanks again.

  • Will my iphone gps work in a foreign country

    Will my iphone gps work in Italy and France?

    Yes.
    The iPhone uses A-GPS or assisted GPS which is to speed up the initial GPS acquisition from a cold start, but the iPhone includes a dedicated GPS receiver.

  • Will Iphone 4 work with usb 1.1

    I have a 3g now and it said it required usb 2.0 but it works fine with 1.1 just a little slow. Will iphone 4 work with my usb 1.1, everything else updated ie itunes?

    No,
    You need USB 2.0 ports. Per Apples website:
    Windows system requirements
    * PC with USB 2.0 port
    * Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    * iTunes 9.2 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
    * iTunes Store account
    * Internet access

  • Will iphone 4s work in cancun, mexico?

    Will iphone 4s work in cancun, mexico?

    GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications), is a standard for digital cellular networks used by mobile phones all around the world, including Mexico. Contact your cell provider to see if they have coverage in that area or if you can unlock your phone to use a different provider in Mexico.

  • Will iphone apps work on ipad

    will iphone apps work on ipad

    Apart from a few that require, for example, full phone capability yes (and as long as you have the appropriate iOS version installed on your iPad).
    If the apps are universal apps (indicated by a '+' symbol against them in the App Store) then there is one version of the app which has processing within it which recognises the device that it is on and will configure the display accordingly - so they should make full use of the iPad's larger screen.
    If the app is only designed for the iPhone/iPod Touch then it will still work on the iPad but it will just take up an iPhone sized portion of the screen, unless you press the '2x' button which will appear on the screen which will effectively double the size of each pixel in both directions (so therefore may appear pixelated).

  • Which iphone 5c works in spain if I buy it unlocked in USA

    You buy the unlocked, no contract phone found at all apple retail stores.
    Be aware that warranty coverage is only good in the country of origin.  If your phone needs service you'll need to bring it back to the US.

  • Will iPhone 4S work in northern Canadian community that has only CDMA coverage?

    Will the iPhone 4S work in a northern Canadian community that only has CDMA coerage?

    The CDMA iPhone only works on Verizon or Sprint in the US.  Even the 4S which is a world phone only works on the Verizon and Sprint CDMA networks (and their CDMA roaming partners worldwide).  Unless and until Apple releases the iPhone for other CDMA carriers, it will not work on other CDMA networks officially.
    Can it be made to work on those networks, possibly.
    Can that be discussed here?  No.

  • Will iPhone 5c work in Egypt

    Will the iPhone 5c work in Egypt with Vodafone Egypt or Etisalat ?
    If i purchased it from USA or UK, will it work in Egypt ?
    Thanks,
    Mohammed

    The power adapter accepts a wide range of AC input voltages and frequencies.  You won't need a different power adapter but, depending upon the AC prong orientation in Korea, you may need to purchase an AC prong adapter.  You can check the iPhone 5C specifications on both the US and Korea Apple online stores at your leisure.

  • Will iphone 5 work in Singapore?

    I am wondering if and how the iphone 5 works over seas specifically singapore? I have business that I must travel their for and am trying to figure out my best way of communication with family back home in the states.

    I suggest you add details of which carrier you are with
    If AT&T you can roam as is , but check with AT&T if they need to provision roaming on your contract
    Also they may have a package for data and calls whilst outside US
    You can also use wifi obviously
    If a CDMA carrier no idea ...sorry

  • Will an unlocked iPhone 5s work in Spain?

    I am moving to Spain for a year and would like to get a new iPhone before going. My plan is to buy an unlocked iPhone 5S from the apple store in the US, bring it to Spain, and use a Spanish phone company (vodafone, orange, yoigo,...) SIM when I get there.
    Will the unlocked iPhone 5S that I can buy from the apple store in the US work there?
    The model I can buy at the US apple store is A1533 (GSM).
    Thank you!

    Correct.
    My recent experience in Spain was that cell service is excellent almost everywhere.

  • Will iPhone 5 work in the Philippines?

    If I purchase iPhone 5 in U.S., will it work in the Philippines?

    How do you "officially unlock" a phone.
    Does that change the warranty.
    Does unlocking change EVERYTHING like jailbreaking it does.
    Do I have to reload everything on my phone.

  • Will iphone 4 work japan

    I have a US AT&T  iPhone 4.
    Will it work in Japan, or does it lack the required 2100 band?
    thanks

    It should but the voice and data roaming will be hideously expensive. Contact AT&T for rates.

  • Will iPhone cable work with iPod classic?

    Will the combination iPhone/BT headset cable that came with my iPhone also charge my iPod classic?

    The cable that came with the iPhone should charge any iPod with a 30 pin connection. I charge my nano with the iPhone dock/cable.

  • Will iPhone 3g work w/ USB 1.0?

    I have an 800mhz iMac 17" flat panel w/ USB 1.0. Am I able to sync w/out USB 2.0?
    Thanks.
    -Don!

    Syncing should work with USB 1.1, but data transfer will be slower and not without potential problems from time to time since USB 1.1 is not supported.
