gps phones

I know cell phones have GPS tracking devices, but can any work as a GPS for giving people directions when they are driving? If not, why not? It doesn't seem like it would be too difficult to design.

yes a lot of the new phone have gps direction devices..i didnt know this i bought one for my car and then my friend was using her cell phone..of course you have to buy the service for it but its worth it so helpful

Compact and lightweight design
The flexible arm can be adjusted to any angle for easy viewing.

For example, compared to the Garmin Nuvi series, or something similar. Is it like comparing apples to oranges?

Can some phones be used as car navigation? How good are they at pedestrian navigation?

I'm considering buying a GPS, probably a Garmin Nuvi 750, but if my next cell phone might fulfill the same duties, maybe I won't.

Thanks for any information or advice!

Phones can be used for car navigation but they are not as accurate as a stand alone device like the Nuvi. Another drawback is the small screen. Nothing beats a dedicated navigation device. Buy the Nuvi.

In the US, the federal government requires cell phone companies to know where cell phone users are. This is so that if a cell phone user calls 911, the police/EMS/etc can find them.

Some cell companies perform this look up via cell tower triangulation whereas others do it via GPS. I want to know what companies/phones do this with GPS! And I'm curious what % of cell phones in general have GPS built in!

I don't know. But mine has it built in...I think.
