No.. you don't need the 3G (or any data connection) for the GPS to work.
Only need that to download or update stuff and general internet connection, like checking weather etc..
If you just want the purple line, you can have the iphone off and not connected to save battery.

Hi All...
I have an Ipad mini aith ozrunnways installed.. havn't used it in flight yet but I recon it is the perfect size.
I have the version with the inbuilt GPS, but I don;t have the sim installed. I am too cheap to fork out for another data sim when I already have one in my iphone... so I use tethering. Turn on personal hotspot on the iphone and the ipad can then use that to access the internet using wifi.
So I get the benefit fo the inbuilt GPS as well as data access without the second sim.
Cheers,
Andrew

My optometrist tells me that polarised glasses can hide highlights like reflections off aircraft wings.. so could make them harder to spot... she isn't a pilot though :)
I have prescription sunnies just for flying, they are not polarised and are bifocal, making reading maps and instruments easy, while also giving great long distance vision for searching the sky / scenery.
I am not a fan of progressive lenses and they feel like you have "tunnel" vision an can't so easily scan by moving your eyes.
