Without a data connection it would probably take a minute or three to get a fix with the GPS. And I think you can turn off online search in OVI maps settings.

No, you can't turn off online search in OVI maps because without online search OVI maps don't find nothing !

Does anyone know why the n900 needs a internet connection inorder to geotag pictures?
A hack that still waits to be made, AFAIK

An unsolvable what?
Geo-tagging works with no internet just fine. It takes longer to lock (design limitation of GPS system), and, if it didn't finish locking precisely, it tags the pictures with its best guess, for example GSM cell data. Or, if that fails, tags country by provider country code. I've had pictures tagged as the capital of whatever country I was in because I killed the camera app too soon.
Why would anyone need to "hack" that? It's working as well as it possibly can.

You can turn off the internet connection part.. just go to Settings > Location and turn off the network positioning part.
Just be warned, the GPS takes a long time to get a lock without it.

well ive been playing around with the camera app a bit more and found out that if you do not have a internet connection but do have a gps lock then the co-ordianted of where the picture was takken will be embeded in the image file but it will not state the country or area. if area and country are equried it has to have a internet connection from what i have found.

and also on a similar note why does ovi maps require internet connection to search for streets/locations for preloaded maps. surley there should already be a databse of all the streets on the preloaded maps.
i hope somone can spread a bit of light on these things
Thanks
