Can I get the BlackBerry Bold GPS to work without subscribing to TeleNav?

I understand one has to pay for the AT&T TeleNav service, but is the built-in GPS on my new Bold available to other applications such as geocoding on the camera and Google maps? I just downloaded TellMe, for instance, and it doesn’t seem able to use the GPS. What do I need to do to get the GPS going without the TeleNav subscription?

Can cell phone GPS be used to know your location without subscribing to anything?

In a phone such as the BlackBerry Pearl 8110 (AT&T), which has GPS, I understand that if you want to use it for turn-by-turn directions and so on, you have to add a service such as AT&T Navigator. But if you just wanted to know, for example, where you were, where the different directions are, do you need to buy and software/services, or does that work out of the box? Thanks!
