at&t tilt GPS newbie question

[htcimposter]

i've just ordered an at&t tilt. i've searched on this forum for gps and tom tom and didnt get anything and so is this post.

will i be able to use the tilt as a gps unit without signing up for the data plan from at&t?

does kaiser have gps hardware built it or is it an addon?

if it does have a gps hardware is built in, what software can i use to use the phone as a gps unit. if there is a thread or post where i can read more, please let me know.

TIA

I have no clue how you searched but there are gazillions of threads out there for GPS. Please search again. Just to be nice to you: yes, Tilt/Kaiser does have a built-in hardware for GPS and all you need to do is buy a standalone software such as Tomtom, iGo, etc. With standalone, you don't need to pay for the internet unless you want traffic information.

The kaiser has built in GPS Hardware. Virtually any GPS Software will work with the kaiser. To try it out, GoogleMaps has a built in GPS tool but it needs to download the maps as it goes. TomTom or similar have the maps stored locally which has a lower running cost but costs quite alot initially.

yes it has a built in gps... and you can use Garmin Mobile XT and there a lot of programs..

It works well with iGuidance with the onboard GPS and I don't have a data plan...

I see were this is going, i have advice for you. Just go to walmart and buy a gps navagation system, save yourself and all of us some time since you cant understand the concept of "google search" and "read the wiki"
