local search will not talk to the GPS unit connected to a 770,800,or 810. You can go to local.google.com and put in a location, then do something like search for the nearest pizza point. Works great.
Also some windows mobile and j2me phones/PDAs can download a google maps app that talks to the gps device. But what I'm talking about is a standard that any website can use automatically by embedding something like <script src="http://localhost:2947/gpsinfo";> into their page and getting back a javascript object with the latitude & longitude info.
