I'm just getting started with the Moto Q from alltel and need to know how to use it as a GPS on the Moto Q display with just Software and a reciever or transciever. At first I'll use the Google Maps or similar to get maps as needed through the wed service but woul dlike an inexpensive GPS Moto Q.

From what I'm seeing in web searching it seems that there are 3rd party GPS option but they essentially have their own GPS display and such which negates the minimimal approach I want which is too by Software that makes my Moto Q a live GPS device when needed with out too many extra accessories to buy. Can I do this with a software from Handango and a reciever and ready to go live GPS?

So has anyone done this and what did work for the live GPS feature I want? Has anyone used a bluetooth receiver and some 3rd party software to make the Moto Q a turn-by-turn GPS unit?

Thanks in advance for all guidance.
