It's not true GPS. It's been discussed over and over and over....and over...

Bottom line: You want GPS in the fashion you're talking about, buy a BT receiver.
BS. The description itself says "The Mogul is an ALI-capable smart device equipped with a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver supporting a satellite-based GPS ALI-capable network to comply with the FCC’s ALI requirements."

Fact is that it is equipped with GPS, and the reciever recieves GPS signals. ALI simply refers to the Automatic Location Identification database system that holds your name, ESN and number so that they know who is calling.

The sad thing is that there is talk that advertisers might be getting access to it to be able to track where you are and send you targetted ads via text or phone call for businesses that are near your location.
