Any FREE way to have "gps" type features? - Motorola Q Forum

Is there any FREE way, like If i have an msn account, to be able to let live search, for instance, know where I am so I can use the program like a GPS?

if you have data/internet access on your Q, why not use something like Mapquest.com ?

Thanks for reply. Oh, I use things like that, however, you have to input your current location.

I was wondering if there was a way to avoid that.

You can get a bluetooth GPS receiver and use google maps live. Does Anyone know how many channels the Q supports (ie 16 or 32)?

Like this http://wls.live.com (access from your Q)?

cmantis, I have that installed. Can it tell your location?

You can try navizon.com

It uses wi-fi AP's and Cell towers. I find it to be generally accurate within about 30 miles. So you have that going for you, which is nice.

Jeez I don't think I've ever been so lost that a 30 mile radius would help me. But wait there was that one time in Indiana when I woke up in the back seat of a junk car in a strange town.
