NEXTEL GPS MAPs - Not
For those of you wha are considering using/paying for Nextel's GPS capability, their maps are really really bad. I signed up for a minute. The maps looked like Nextel tried to create them. They were so bad I could not determine where I was. Don't waste your money. If Nextel wants GPS customers they need to provide a real solution and samples of their maps that look as good or better than the maps here. My thoughts are saving you some duckies.
GPS Mapping
I've looked into the TrimbleOutdoors also. I'm going with SPOT from skylab-mobilesystems.com. They use an OPEN GIS fomat (free) and have a pile of web sites to get a basemap and detail needed to utilize this great feature. I use work in a survey office and am very comfortable with GIS and GPS locating. Get some info and give it a try.
I'm not into these location based services ($$$$) and applaud this free service.
THanks for adding the i605 support. THat'll be my phone choice.
