GPS Services in Works for Cell Phones

Nextel Communications Inc. is working with a GPS company to bring driving directions and tracking services to its mobile phones. Location-based service company Televigation Inc. this week at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas will launch TeleNav GPS for Nextel. The service provides voice-enabled, turn-by-turn directions for phones that run on the Nextel network. The phones must be equipped with Global Positioning System hardware as well as Java technology for the software download. Java phones without GPS can be equipped with it using a connection kit from Televigation.
