Laptops have software you can download so that if it is misplaced or stolen, you can track it and recover it. I am guessing there must be something similar for GPS. What can I purchase to know it’s location?

Can cell phone GPS be used to know your location without subscribing to anything?

In a phone such as the BlackBerry Pearl 8110 (AT&T), which has GPS, I understand that if you want to use it for turn-by-turn directions and so on, you have to add a service such as AT&T Navigator. But if you just wanted to know, for example, where you were, where the different directions are, do you need to buy and software/services, or does that work out of the box? Thanks!
