Yes, my standalone gps and google location services are on. I can enter the location in google navigation, but then it will give a the infamous "Searching for GPS" for several minutes

The GPS does not cost anything extra. The VZ Navigator feature is about $10.00 extra per month I believe, but but GPS along with Google Maps isn't anything extra.

Enjoy!

Where is the gps on the samsung fascinate phone, thanks

You can activate the GPS by "grabbing" the top of the screen and pulling down. In the information bar that runs across the top of your screen, that displays the battery indicator, time, signal strength etc, you can take your finger and pull that down. You'll have four icons there:

Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and Airplane Mode. Just press the GPS icon and it will turn green, indicating that it is now on.

Hope this helps!

u can use google maps only for nav if u want but the navigation that comes with it is just that, strictly for navigation...in other words for navigation use the Navigation app part of google maps in your app drawer
places is a location tool for finding popular places, gas stations, restaurants, close to your relative location...
