About LinkBacksHey, I'm new to these forums and to the Droid 2 Global so I was hoping someone could help me out!Under the Location and Security settings of my Droid there's an option to use GPS Satellites. If I have this checked does it cost me money to find and use those satellites or does it only cost me money to actually use the GPS? I didn't buy the Verizon Navigator feature and I don't want to use the GPS for finding my way anywhere. I just want it to be able to track my location for social network updates, etc. I guess the basis of the question is, does it cost me money to enable the use GPS Satellites option on my phone? Thank you so much for helping!
