.mobi Mobile Tech Question

[Ben42]

It's been a while since I've bought a new phone, but does GPS pretty much come standard nowadays? Are there sites where you can download GPS Software for your phone?

I went with a GPS name for the .mobi ext, but just wondering if I'm looking at things the wrong way.

Any info appreciated!

I don't think most cellphones come with GPS function built in.

For example, if I wanted GPS for my Treo 700P, I would need something like TomTom which comes with both hardware and software.

Anyone know if carriers can some how take advantage of the e911 feature to provide pseudo-GPS function?

I am using HP HW6510, if you wanna find a GPS builtin phone, this one is one of your choices.

My phone is a couple of years old and it has GPS. It was pretty expensive at the time though. ~$250 after a $200 instant rebate. I'm pretty sure GPS isn't an extremely common feature in phones, but I'm sure it's common enough to build a site for. Technology is rapidly advancing, and before long, GPS will be in everything, including our car keys so we won't lose them anymore!
