I was wondering if this would be a good use for one, or if I would be better off getting an actual PMP for my needs.
Also, where is it cheapest?

How well does the GPS work without an active SIM in the device? I have a friend who wants to use this while golfing to keep track of his shots.
One issue I've had with two different 520's is that the headphone jack has given me problems. I can get the left channel fine, but the right channel is either muffled or not playing at all. If I wiggle the headphone jack and retract the plug in a certain position, I can get both channels. It happened with my first, and then I exchanged for a second 520 with the same problem. Maybe there was a bad batch. However, if one uses bluetooth headphones, it probably isn't much of an issue.
Check Slickdeals for the cheapest Lumia 520. I saw it for $77 on Amazon last week. I think it'd make a great PMP.
I'm planning to invest in one for use with Runtastic but am not sure if it'll work offline like my 920 does. I would use my 920 but it's just too big to carry on a run.
I realize this is an old thread, but I've been having tons of problems getting this to work. It's constantly asking me for a SIM card, and it won't let me use my local maps without inserting a SIM card. Any suggestions?
