Default GPS... Help!!

Hello everyone. This is my first post. I hope someone here can help me!

I am looking at buying a new PDA phone. I really want one with GPS capability. Not for driving but for maps and giving me my latitude & longitude. The lat/long is especially important!

From what I tell so far, the 9c (Sprint) can not do that. Does the 'h' or 'm' model give lat/long?

I lost my phone last weekend, so I want to buy a new one soon.

Thank you VERY much.

Thanks!

I've tried to follow the aGPS vs GPS stuff & I'm totally confused. Furthermore, I'm a *total* rookie at phone-based apps. Can anyone direct me to a (hopefully free) program that will give me lat/long on a 9c?

If you can, I'll buy a 9c tonight. Otherwise, it looks like I might have to settle for a TREO.

gpsVP will give you all that. Pretty cool too..Lets you use downloaded maps as well as integrating Google or Windows Live through it. Free...

I tried Efficasofts utility too. 17 dollars...a few cool features, lat/long, compass etc...but only uses downloaded maps..jpg, bmp, etc.

My zero money is with gpsVP..for that! I still use Live for routes and directions!
