Location Transport

Please help with this iPhone question.?

Ok, so I got the 8gig iPhone 3G last night and only got the 30 dollar data package but no gps. Well the guy at the ATT store waas saying that I could use google maps to find my location and get directions which does not use the gps, but after using it I was concerned that it was because my former Blackberry Curve's my location on google maps was off by a good bit while the iPhones was right on the spot... So my question! Is, am I safe using the location service on the phone using google maps while avoiding the use of costly gps? Thanks for any help but I am totally new to the iPhone and the way its menus and what not work. Also, does anyone know of any good free apps that add a video camera, free tv, and a meter that shows the batteries actual percentage left. Thanks again! Yeah that basiclly answers my question, so does that also include when I open up my camera it asks me if I want it to save the location that the photo was taken in? If I say yes then there's no charge forthat right? Thanks again-- I'm trying to avoid large charges lol

1. Yes u cAn use google maps without getting charged.google is like a partner with AT&T . Go to the app store on your home screen and type any games or extras that you want. Hope I could help
2. GPS chip is in there in every iPhone 3G and iPhone 3G S. Its not in At&T hand to add/remove this feature neither they can CHARGE you for that. They can charge you for GPS ONLY if you install app AT&T Location Service from APP STORE. $30 Data package gives you UNLIMITED data so you don't have to worry about anything that you are doing with internet over 3G or Wi-Fi. You can use Google Map or watch video on YouTube whole day long, YOU WONT BE CHARGED. iVideo Camera is arguably the best video camera app for iPhone. QIK is also good and its FREE. Battery GT is FREE app for percentage. Also install 4 FREE app 1.Dragon Dictation-Speech to text. 2.Dragon Search-Voice search on google ,youtube,wikipedia 3.Google Voice-voice search local business 4.Bing Voice-voice search local business,image There are many more amazing apps but i recommended these coz Google Nexus One phone and Droid boasts of these feature which are available for iPhone since long nobody even pays attention coz iPhone has even more spectacular features that these cheesy phones cant even think of. You wont be charged for iphone location service. stop worrying.
