You can connect to internet via your browser, if you are connected to wi fi through your or any router. You may be able to download the google maps as well. The gps is a part of the your hardware. You need to have functional maping software to utilize and benefit from the gps's functionality. Short answer to your question is You cannot use GPS without data plan. The problem with the blackberry is that it does not allow any application which can connect to internet, to open, if you do not have a data plan.
