I guess it works different... with my laptop, I just bought the GPS receiver, loaded up the software and never had to pay a dime to anyone - what is different with a smart phone and WHY is it different?
(I don't need internet and e-mail on the phone).

You need a data plan to download the actual maps.
GPS will give you coordinates, but nothing more. You need maps to actual display that GPS data in a usable format.
Since maps don't get stored on the device (like your laptop does) you need a data plan to download them on the fly.
There's one or two mapping applications that do store maps on the SD card for the BlackBerry, but I seriously doubt they're what you're looking for.
