just wondering. if its possible to use the titan, specifically its gps chip, as a gps receiver for a computer. like with google earth, or some other computer program that can use a usb or bluetooth gps reciever.
any thoughts?

Yes,
I believe it is possible. There is a very informative thread here that deals with your question and a lot of other stuff concerning the internal gps.

The post you want to want to look at at #3. The program that will allow you to do this is here http://users.skynet.be/hofinger/GPS2Blue.html and it's FREE.
Thanks to TalynOne for this great thread.

You will need GPS2Blue for the PPC and HW Virtual Serial Port for the PC. these 2 combined will allow you to use your phone as a GPS device for your computer. I read the instructions somewhere, just not sure where. I will try and find them but it is pretty easy.
