All, I use Verizon's Navigator product on the Razor phone. It has really been a good solution for me. I went from using a Garmin XL 12 and just punching the lat/longs or entering a point that I wanted to return to and used the GOTO arrow for years. More recently, I have been using the Garmin with Street Atlas on my small laptop when I travel for navigating around. Since the summer, I replaced the Garmin with a bluetooth GPS. And in October, I upgraded to the Razor and installed the VZNaviator on my unit. I really have not used anything else since. Check it out. It is also good for finding locations of points of interest (restaurants, gas stations, etc) within proximity of your current location.

I find no evidence that the Nextel network does. However, even if it did, they don't seem to have a PDA that uses it anyway; I carry a Treo 700p (and before that a 650, a 600, and a 300 as the last 3 devices) and effective with the PRL update I took an hour ago, data roaming to Verizon (1xRTT only, not EVDO, but still...) is enabled, there's no way a Nextel data service would be as useful as that. I have to keep carrying a bluetooth GPS... for now. _______________________________________________ Geowanking mailing list [email protected] http://lists.burri.to/mailman/listinfo/geowanking _______________________________________________ Geowanking mailing list [email protected] http://lists.burri.to/mailman/listinfo/geowanking
