Did a search but found nothing on GPS within the United States. Anyone have any info or experience with this. Any good GPS software for p*** series that are made for USA? What GPS reciever would you recommend? Any info is appreciated. Thanks

GPS on my P910a would be amazing, but I have never seen an affordable solution

Excellent product but sadly it is built for Europe and not the US.

They will release it for the US, otherwise I wouldn't recommend it. I travel alot to Chicago and I hope it will work there.

Try NHGPS. Its not proper Sat nav but you can put any map that you want into it and it will show you where you are.

I have been using GPWare since its release for the Pxxx series. I actually beta tested the software for the engineers in that company being that I had more experience using the Pxxx series phones then their staff did. I kept close tabs on glitches that I discovered along with providing them with suggestions which they eventually implemented. So far it's probably your best option for your P910. I think having the option to control your software destination list on the phone through a PC interface is a plus. Especially being able to track your progress from a remote PC through an internet connection. Wayfinder will not give you an option to run it in the US. TomTom has not really developed anything for the Pxxx series yet even though they hinted that they would some time earlier this year.

Just buy any old BT GPS hardware and you should be on your way. Try their monthly package first. I think the ability to pay monthly beats all its competitors because you don't have to shell out tons of money for some software you may not want to use a few weeks down the road. If you think you'll use it for an entire year then move on to the lifetime package to save money. Do a search on this forum for "GPWare" as I have posted some results of the software with pictures some time ago.
