Does the treo also function as the GPS, or do you need to add a card to
it?

The Treo 650 doesn't have a GPS. I have a Garmin 296 for use in the
plane -
like I said, I mostly use CoPilot for planning and filing purposes. I'm
tempted to get a bluetooth GPS and FlightMaster as a backup, but I think
the Treo would be more suited for GeoCaching than flying.

The last 2 phones I've gotten claim they have some kind of built-in GPS for
emergency purposes. (Both Motorola phones) I'm sure someone with more
knowledge than me could write some Java stuff to read these values. I had
hoped the Treo had the same technology.

I'm sick of a palm in one pocket, and a phone in the other, so I may pick up
a used Treo. I've seen the 600 selling for around $150 (USD). I don't want
the data capabilities, but I've heard that no matter what I do to it, It
will keep phoning home (to Verizon) and using 'data', so I may need to pay
$20 a month extra. I don't want that.
