Anyone else use their Nextel phone as a GPS locater? I have a GPS enabled phone with a nice color screen. It's a free bonus in addition to the cell phone the way I see it, so I'm going to try it out next winter.

I've turned in on in the car and it seems to work pretty good. Got some more playing around to do with it to see what exactly it can and can't do.

I'll update some more later.

Oh, it's the i730 Nextel phone.

I have it on my nextel as well, unfortunatly the reception is very poor and almost never can pick up a signal. My i88s model is a little older and doesn't have the color screen so I'm sure many inprovments have been made since.
