Default GPS carried to the extreme?

I worked on a project like that at one time in the past. Cell phones were
going to require a GPS internally for the 911 feature to tell the dispatcher
where you really were. A company we were supplying was adding a compass
also, and you could use the phone as a web browser, and point the phone in
the direction you were interested in and ask for restaurants, history of the
building, etc. Probably would have had public pee facilities programmed in
to the host computer.


my nextel phone will give me my lat and long....
