the thing is that Maps applications require some data connection, 3g or wifi. in scotland, only wifi will work.
so, unless you are in a spot with wifi, when you pull up Maps, you are just gonna get the blue arrow on a blank screen. you can get your latitude and longitude I think, but no other information
I just got off the phone with Golflogix and he said it should work in Scotland if I load the course when I have wifi access. The app only uses GPS after the course is loaded.
He gave me a seven day free trial so it should be good.
GPS will work anywhere. BUT... You still need a data-connection if you want to use turn-by-turn Google NAV. Overseas roaming is expensive.
You can download maps. There are apps that allow you to pre-load maps so you don't need to rely on a data-connection. That is the best bet. I've done this with other phones.
You can also do something like use co-pilot and buy the maps for the country you will be visiting.
Otherwise, I recommend leaving the phone at home. Verizon uses CDMA which is not very compatible with the rest of the GSM world.
