I've spent about 25 minutes searching Google for this.. I'm just curious, but.. is the Motorola Droid TRUE GPS?
GPS means Global Positioning Satellite..so.. that'd mean I should be able to get directions from a satellite in space and the Droid should be able to use the last map data downloaded through 3G to plot me on said map, although POI and traffic data may not be up to date without 3G connectivity of course. Makes sense to me anyway. In other words it should work in the mountains or where ever if it is in fact TRUE GPS.
I have a pretty strong feeling that it is in fact NOT true GPS though..or hell, maybe it is, but the software is still in it's infancy and we can't have this type of funtionality yet because it hasn't been coded?
Does anyone know if it is a real GPS or not? I'm real curious about all this.
