    Hi!
    Currently, I'm currently the proud owner of a 15" Unibody MBP, and it seems like I may be purchasing a Sony Ericsson W760 cell phone in April. I know for a fact that the cell phone has a GPS receiver on it, so would there be anyway to use it to power like a navigation program on the MBP or something?

    Thanks!

    It does not always work since the GPS device within the cell phone can many time not be able shared and seen. Your best bet is to use a cell phone suite that allows you to see certain functions.

    cheers ...
