Laptops and cars.

I prefer having a device with maps stored locally. It sucks trying to
find a place that is on the fringe of celular service and having the
map service get disconnected.

Right now I'm using tomtom navigator 6 which stores the maps I need in about a
gig of space. I have that and a small music/audiobook library on an 8 GB
micro-sdhc card half the size of a postage stamp.

If you use the Mogul from Sprint it has GPS built into it.

If you use a Touch you can add a GPS with this:

"Mobile GMaps is a FREE application that displays maps from Yahoo! Maps,
Windows Live Local (MSN Virtual Earth), Ask.com, Open Street Map and
other sources on Java J2ME-enabled mobile phones, PDAs and other
devices. MGMaps can connect to a GPS receiver over bluetooth or use
internal GPS features on some phones in order to automatically display
the map for your current position. You can pre-download maps and store
them on your memory card in order to use them on the go without
accessing the internet."

Locally means that the maps are stored on the actual phone and available when
you're outside of phone service.

When you use the software that sprint provides on the Mogul, you are relying
on an active connection to servers at sprint. Lose your connection and
you're **** out of luck.

Yes, I like having the maps on my Mogul too especially when I know I'll be
in areas where there will be little or no coverage.

The link I posted earlier goes to a Garmin device that would do what you
want it to do:

I've never tried an 8 GB on my Mogul yet but a 4 GB worked fine. But I've
heard this too. If I got the Garmin the works with the internal GPS then it
limits me to a 2 GB card and I didn't like that.

Garmin's antipiracy tactics put them out of consideration. For my
phone, I would not be able to install the software onto a nice 8GB
card. I'd have to use their ****ty little 2GB card and swap it out
every time I wanted to switch between GPS and storing my own files.

are you really this dense? Local is stored on your device. Remote
isn't.

If you are relying on a server to send you maps and lose contact, you no
longer have a functioning GPS device.

While we're telling others to look for brains, we might might want to
actually _read_ what others wrote...

Your Nuvi is a dedicated GPS/Nav device. AZ was talking about a Garmin
_software_ product that runs on GPS-enabled smartphones. To prevent
piracy, they pre-install the maps on an included 2GB microSD card, which
requires you to remove whatever card you normally use, and insert their map
card.

If like me, and apparently AZ, you normally schlep a bunch of data (media
files, documents, etc.) on your microSD, swapping a map-only card into the
phone to use it as a nav device sucks. On a long car trip, I typically run
my GPS software while simultaneously listening to music or audiobooks from
my phone. With the Garmin software product, that isn't possible.

Sure, if you own a separate GPS unit like you do. One of the benefits of
traveling with a GPS-enabled smartphone is NOT having to lug around a Nuvi.
My phone is not just my phone, but my "iPod", my GPS, my Kindle, my PSP,
my laptop, etc.

You're the idiot with a subsecond attention span and that isn't my
problem.
