(This is a followup to previous two posts (#1 and #2).
According to multiple sources in the Sprint developer forums and other places, Sprint PCS now allows access to the GPS information in their phones. In order to access it, you need to be using an MIDP 2.0 phone (Sanyo MM-5600, Sanyo MM-7400 or Sanyo MM-8300) and sign your application with a Verisign Java Class 3 certificate. There is also some permissions stuff which I don’t have on me right now. For the interested parties, Garmin has a working application.

In my web under findit, yellowbook.com (?? I can’t get to it right now since its not downloading at full signal strength) is now offering to do a lookup based on your current location. It never displays my current location, but it does seem to find places displaying distances that seem correct.
If I select an entry that was found this way and ask for directions I must enter my current location at that time.
I have a sanyo RL-4930
Just noticed this this weekend October 8 2006
