Hello everyone

I have heard alot and know alot about GPS, but i am curious about somethings, like do u have to be subscribed to a specific company that provide a service? For example i am interested to by the BLUETOOTH GPS device, but i am not sure if it will work directly using a software on P900, or do i have for example to subscribe to a specific service provider?

if there are links to learn more about GPS i would appreciate it too.

The actual satellite service (your location coordinates) is free as long as you have a receiver.

What isn't free is map[ping] services that show where you are on an a map, provides directions / driving instructions, route planning, & such.

See, e.g., http://www.wayfinder.com/

You can try out WayFinder for 5 days. It was my first time to play with a GPS program and it was very impressing! But ohhh what expensive 😡
