I suspect this is a pretty elementary question, BUT here goes:
Is a data plan required to use the GPS functions on a 3G enabled iPad?
That said, *some* (but not all) mapping apps have to download map data to *display* your location correctly.
(Some mapping apps contain their maps within their huge (e.g., 1.4 GB) data footprint.)
(And some apps use GPS location without having to map it.)
