hi..I am a taiwanese in the US..I bought a GPS celluar phone in Taiwan(built in GPS)..?

Question

But i also want to use it as GPS in the US. What kind of GPS software I should buy.? The TOMTOM costs around 150 USD? It will work right as long as my phone has the built in GPS chip and windows mobile 5, right? built in memory is only 256. I install it to built in memory? is it sufficient? or to the mini SD card? I am still confused with one thing. The US territory is such big..I only installed the software of the state where i am in or i install it that includes all the states? I will appreciate your help Daniel

Check on your cell phone website and download the US map.

我會推薦TOMTOM 就規劃能力跟速度而言 TOMTOM是比較佳

But i also want to use it as GPS in the US. What kind of GPS software I should buy.?

None. Most of TOMTOM preload it's software.

The TOMTOM costs around 150 USD?

No. The range should be $199.99 to $9999.99

Here is one of the cheaper model:

I recommand 1G Secure Digital Card and at least 512 MB.

I got all my SD cards for free.

The US territory is such big..I only installed the software of the state where i am in or i install it that includes all the states?

Again most of TOMTOM preload the US map.
