                    If only there was a way to download the maps using USB or something rather than GPRS all the time as it would cost me a fortune...apart from that, really really nice idea!

                      Was just thinking here in Australia the GPS SE HGE-100 is apparently not useful (unless there have been some recent updates to make it work in Australia maps wise and all) would this device however work with the Google maps device providing me with a GPS location on my normally non-gps phone? anyone with some insight on this?

                                Java phone users should point their mobile phone browser to http://www.google.com/gmm in order to download the Java application.
