 If I'm not mistaken, the GPS is not turned on (yet). It simply provide maps
and directions...much like accessing Google Maps on the web.
What existing phones (in the US) have the GPS turned on? I'd love to
buy Garmin Nuvi, but would rather have something intergrated with my cell
phone. What about peeps outside the US? Better luck there?


Somehow, Real Life tends to interfere. How does the phone know where it is?
