Can cell phone GPS be used to know your location without subscribing to anything?


In a phone such as the BlackBerry Pearl 8110 (AT&T), which has GPS, I understand that if you want to use it for turn-by-turn directions and so on, you have to add a service such as AT&T Navigator. But if you just wanted to know, for example, where you were, where the different directions are, do you need to buy and software/services, or does that work out of the box? Thanks!

    On some phone (like the ones that run Windows CE, etc) you can download the application and data to the machine but you can’t do it for all GPS phones.

    The GPS on your phone can be used by law enforcement to locate you; that part doesn’t require any kind of subscription. It is not something you as the user can access, however; it’s for emergencies. If YOU want to know where you are, you’ll need to subscribe to a service.

    Yes! Of course you can find your location over cellphone without subscribing anything. GPS enabled Blackberry phones, once used almost exclusively by corporate and government VIPs, began to penetrate the consumer market stimulated by the demand for phones with advanced messaging capability.
