I have the e71 as well. I poked at Nokia Maps once or twice but think GoogleMaps is better. Works perfect with the builtin GPS.
I believe that setting simply sets it so it does not retrieve maps online. But it might still be using A-GPS (assisted GPS) where it contacts the cell towers for positioning data to assist the satellite data.
