anyways the next, and main problem is im not sure how to use the GPS without using a phone network.

all i know is when i have the phone map open and i click the top right button it says no position or w/e with a red dot next to it. and if i leave the map open and go to the desktop i can see a little sattilite blinking

Are you trying outside with a clear view of the sky? It might take 5 to 25 minutes. If you get a wifi connection, that can help. It worked for me.

On the n810 you can click on the GPS icon and get to a dialog that tells you the number of satellites in view and the number in use. Another of the backward steps from Maemo 4 to Maemo 5.
