Can cell phone GPS be used to know your location without subscribing to anything?

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

alex619 asked:

In a phone such as the BlackBerry Pearl 8110 (AT&T), which has GPS, I understand that if you want to use it for turn-by-turn directions and so on, you have to add a service such as AT&T Navigator. But if you just wanted to know, for example, where you were, where the different directions are, do you need to buy and software/services, or does that work out of the box? Thanks!

Monday, January 25th, 2010

Dengero asked:

I bought a new sony ericsson c903 recently, and I saw that there was a GPS function. The thing is, how do I use it? I used status checker and everything, but I don’t have the internet cause I’m on prepaid. So does that mean I can’t use it at all?

Who0p3r asked:

I want a phone with excellent audio quality and includes GPS navigation and a decent camera, maybe 3.2 MP or higher.
I have the Nokia 5800 XM, and I’m pretty pleased with it, but I’m looking for something that has a better audio quality.

Thanks in advance

Iraq Out asked:

Does a cell phone navigate off the cell network and the gps device uses satellites…and therefore can be used where there is no cell phone connection?

How do the GPS capabilities of new mobile phones compare to the GPS models by Garmin, TomTom, etc?

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

Carter asked:

For example, compared to the Garmin Nuvi series, or something similar. Is it like comparing apples to oranges?

Can some phones be used as car navigation? How good are they at pedestrian navigation?

I’m considering buying a GPS, probably a Garmin Nuvi 750, but if my next cell phone might fulfill the same duties, maybe I won’t.

Thanks for any information or advice!

Saturday, June 27th, 2009

Nick W asked:

I recently lost my Verizon wireless Samsung sch-a950 phone, and can’t seem to find it. I just remembered messing with the system setting of the phone, and seeing some sort of GPS locator device on it. I was wondering how I would be able to activate that in order to help me find my phone. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

What is a good SIM phone with GPS capability and how does it work?

Sunday, May 3rd, 2009

Jack Murphy asked:

I am currently with Cingular/AT&T and I would like to buy a new unlocked phone that has GPS or some type of google maps application. I actually have two questions about this: First, what is a good compatible phone? Second, how exactly does the application work when it is on your cell phone? Do I need a data plan? Or is it just an application that I can use for free? Thanks in advance!
