If the phone has a GPS receiver, then all you need is the software for whatever you want to do I beleive. Someone correct me if I am wrong!0

I have a 6630 and am running tomtom mobile on it using a Globalsat BT-338/ Bluetooth GPS . The gps is great and works from the center armrest box in the car. I have loaded the cameras on tomtom so use it for this even when I know where Im going. Any more help pm me.0

cool, how much are the receivers though (not the software)?0

The GPS unit will need to be bluetooth, prices range from around £40.00 - £65.00 on ebay.
The 6630 is not GPS device. The phones software allows GPS software to be installed (tomtom) and with the use of a bluetooth GPS receiver can then be used as a sat nav unitWelcome, rogerramjet.

Dead right rogerramjet, I paid £51 for my Globalsat BT-338/ Bluetooth GPS on ebay. BUT then £15 postage from Hong Kong and then £15 duty which I hadn't planned on. Still happy , its a great gps (so far) and would cost over £100 in UK. It picks up the sats much better than any gps I have had before. It really does work indoors. Having said that maybe the newer cheaper ones on ebay do to.0
