I just recieved my 6620 2 weeks ago and I want to use my phone as a GPS(I travel alot for work). Can someone explain to me how the GPS Bluetooth works? Do I install a maping program like Mapopolis on my phone and connect to a GPS via bluetooth and thats pretty much it? Be easy if this is a novice question....it's just due to the fact that I am one. What is the best bluetooth GPS to use with my 6620? And what is the best mapping program to install on it also?
Thanks for your time and any input you have!

I cannot answer your question but I'd like to know the answer too.
Try asking in the forums at allaboutsymbian.com. That seems to be the best place to find out about Series 60 phone stuff.
As far as I know you need to buy a GPS reciever (such as http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=106374&asource=105822). You install the program that comes with it on your phone and connect your phone to the reciever via bluetooth. Your phone downloads the directions of your route via GPRS and off you go...
This is what it says on that link
The Wayfinder navigation system is built on your phone, communicating with a small Bluetooth GPS unit that determines your current position. By simply entering the destination in your phone, a route will be calculated and downloaded from the Wayfinder-server over existing 2G GSM/GPRS as well as future 3G networks. The service is operator independent. The powerful Internet-based Wayfinder Server stores comprehensive maps, points of interest, company information, and real-time traffic information.
The connection to the server only takes a few seconds and your phone will work as usual while navigating.
In contrast to in-car navigation systems and other traditional systems, Wayfinder will always be available to you. You can always bring it with you on all travels and have access to up-to-date maps and real-time traffic information that will be presented to you by voice, pictures and maps. Wherever you are. In your car. In a rented car. Or by foot in a foreign city.
Receive Satellite Navigation features via symbian mobile phone. This brand new leap in technology allows you to find your way anywhere in the UK and Europe. Because it gets maps straight from the powerful Wayfinder server, maps are always up-to-date.
