How to use iPhone4 GPS in Canada without having Data Roaming

fallmists

I'm traveling to Canada for a few days next week and I would like to use my iPhone 4 while there.

I do not want/need:

cellular data (data roaming)

I do want:

GPS (so I can geotag photos, pull up maps while on wifi, etc.)

wifi (so Airplane Mode won't cut it)

What settings are needed to make certain I don't incur roaming/data charges while still allowing me to use the GPS antenna?

Hi Fallmists,

To enable your iPhone 4 to be on Wi-Fi when in Canada, please use these steps below. These steps will allow you to connect to a Wi-Fi where it is available instead of you using a wireless network. Also, when you are using your Wi-Fi, the GPS would work off that Wi-Fi connection. I also understand you do not want Data Roaming wile in Canada. Please bear in mind, if you should need to use Data functions in Canada, this would be Data Roaming billed at the roaming rate of $0.002 dollars per kilobyte. Also, if you make calls while in Canada, it is $0.69 a minute for international roaming. Here is a link for international services information for additional assistance.

To enable Wi-FI:

1. From the home screen, touch the Settings.

2. Touch Wi-FI.

3. If Wi-Fi is not active, slide indicator to On.

4. To join a network device will display available networks, tap desired network and enter security password if needed.
