I’m wondering if in the event of a massive natural disaster or disease pandemic how long would your basic handheld GPS unit still be functional. And also how would this affect cell phones or are they totally separate.

I just got a cell phone with GPS capabilities but I do not have a data plan, and do not want to pay the fee for data. Are there any programs I can download that will make my phone function like a normal GPS device, Garmin, TomTom, etc?

I put my cell phone in the same spot every night when I go to sleep, by a little radio. And you know when cell phones interfere with speakers? That sound, if your phone is by a speaker, right before a call or text? My phone does it EVERY 54 minutes on the button. Is my phone sending out info on my whereabouts, even though my GPS is off?

JP’s mama asked:


I tried calling someone and my cell said “warning low signal” so I typed *228 for verizon update, and it said “it was reaching a US cellular tower. I have had vzw for 9 years and no problems before. Not only that our tv keeps going in and out, and my husband said his gps would put him on roads completely out of his direction. Could any of this be due to the digital transition?

I mean currently without signing up for Nextels GPS tracking services. Is thier an application or website or some other method to enter a cell phone number and have it return an application
I’ve seen on TV private eye get a location via a cell phone. Maybe a better way to ask the question is how can somebody get a cell phones location without having a friend at the phone company giving up which tower the signal is hitting
