GPS for Treo 650

There are two ways to turn your Palm Treo into a turn-by-turn GPS device. If you are a Cingular subscriber you can add Cingular’s TeleNav GPS service for as little as $5.99 per month for 10 trips and about $9.99 per month for many trips. You do need to buy a separate Bluetooth GPS receiver so that your Treo can get the GPS satellite signals. One advantage to the Cingular GPS service is that has enhanced accuracy because Cingular can add positioning accuracy to your Treo’s satellite signals with the fixed location information from its wireless towers.

You can also go the freelance route and buy Tom Tom NAVIGATOR 6 which is a bundled package that comes with a Bluetooth GPS receiver and GPS software with maps for the United States and Canada. The Treo 650 is the first generation Treo that is GPS capable. The Treo 680 and higher all qualify for TomTom Navigator.
