Early Saturday morning and playing catch-up with the list since we
took our daughter to college yesterday. I had to look at my cell
phone, which by-the-way woke me up a few minutes ago because a router
down message was coming in from my upstream provider, to see what day
it was. Reading all
so we just saved the cash.

Good God, half the cell phones on the planet have GPS built into them.
I used a Motorola Razr as a GPS on my last trip to Virginia a couple of
years ago. iPhones and Blackberry's and Palm Pre's have them and the
ability to link them to Google Maps. Job's done.
Why carry a separate GPS? I
Because 1/2 the cell phones on the planet don't have GPS
Because not everyone carries a cell phone.
Because sometimes it may be necessary to have the cell phone to talk on
while looking at the GPS.

Most of the GPS capability on cell phones is quasi GPS using cell
tower locations to give location data.
When there is only 1 cell tower in the area, it is sorta hard to do

My Nextel i720 (when I used Nextel) had real GPS. You have to look
carefully, but lots of cell phones have real GPS receivers in them. If
I'm on a tower, I'm using bluetooth so I have my hands free and then I

an iPhone. The GPS in it works really very well, compass and all.
