Yes and no. As I understand it, the new phones will be able to tell someone
where you are, so that they can come and give you CPR or offer armed
response, but it won't have a display that tells YOU where you are. So I
don't believe that they will be GPS's as we think of them.

I thought for all of the GPS threads.

Next year, 2006, the government mandate for GPS inclusion in cell phones
starts. That means that eventually every cheap cell phone is going to have
a GPS.

GPS receivers are plentyfull now, but are getting set to proliferate into
a commondity part. The time is coming when instead of worrying about tying
the
multiple GPS using instruments you have in your airplane, they all have
their
own, and you have 3, 4 or more redundant GPS recievers in your airplane.
