My LG VX 8300 worked great with Verizon's VNVanigator...people are telling me that the Treop 700p has GPS, but you have to buy a GPS receiver to make anything work with it...now, can I connect my VX 8300 Phone (with correctly working GPS) to my Treo 700p, via bluetooth, and use the VX 8300 as a bluetooth receiver? I don't see why not!?

Read this:

"Cell phone companies are reluctant to release such data because of privacy concerns. But one company -- Sprint/Nextel -- has always allowed access to the geographic information from the chips in its phones."

from: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/...storyId=6097216 towards the bottom........this means you can use the information from the chips for GPS mapping purposes...but how?
