Navigation System???

[mid8]

Just wondering if there's any company that makes a navigation system(GPS) for this Motorola E680i phone. Bluetooth or a one that plugs into the SIM slot. I know they have tons of them for regular PDA's, but not sure about this phone.

No. And if theyd make one, theyd probably not plug it into the sim slot, more likely in the usb port.

Why not? Chipset has USB client/host support. With little modifications it could be possible to connect other USB devices to the phone.
Also we have bluetooth.

Why not? Because
1. The data speed of the sim card connection isnt to fast
2. Its unreachable, youll have to make a homemade battery cover
3. You cant call when youve got a gps reveiver connected to the dim port

SD/SDIO would be good ...

maxx, I'm talking about external devices such as USB or bluetooth.
And what about SIM solution? Haven't seen one

I know, he thought you could plug one into the sim slot, and then i gave 3 reasosnwhy that wouldnt be possible.

My mistake. I meant to say the memory card slot on the buttom of the phone. Not the sim card. Obviously you can't make or received calls. Haha...silly me. Bluetooth or the memory slot is what I mean. But why wouldn't it work. It would be just like any other handheld pda. It may not be as fast as the current 300mhz or 400+mhz pdas, but probably do-able. I'm more worry about the software compatibility, since most gps software are made for palm OS and window OS. Oh, by the way, I just got my phone and it's "suppose" to be a E680i. I know the E680 has the black outer trim, and the 680i has a white trim. At least that's what the box shows. Any inputs?

My e680i is also in black. I believe you can order the e680i in different colours.

I too am looking for a Bluetooth GPS reciever/software that will work with this phone. There are plenty of Bluetooth GPS devices on the market. The problem is the software. An app that would take in the GPS cord. and plug them in to map.google.com would be the best. I'd pay good money for that.
