Until an actual firmware update appears with this or Sprint makes an official announcement along the lines of their promised Rev. A support, I'm chalking up everything to just rumor and speculation.

PPC-6800 and GPS (Mogul GPS Support Coming)

For those playing with your new PPC-6800 Mogul, you may have discovered that GPS is NOT a feature of the PPC-6800.

However, have you heard about the firmware upgrade (available in a few months), that will add EVDO Rev A capability? There will be one other cool surprise with this firmware upgrade...

Internal GPS will be enabled.

That will allow GoogleMaps, GPS Directions and Sprint Locator Service to all work.

I cannot wait!

After I found this in a Google I also found a thread at the Buzz referencing the same thread above:

Did you get the GPS working on your google maps, or just the program running so you can enter addresses in and find directions?

GPS works just fine for me on the Mogul (with a Bluetooth GPS receiver). The option to use GPS in Google Maps is built-in...

I got this reply today from a Sprint Online customer service rep:

Also, I want to inform you that the phone is a GPS enabled handset. However, as of now we are in the process of activating the GPS capabilities with the Sprint services. As soon as we activate the services, you will be informed through a high profile promotion online.

Makes me hope.

I thought he was saying that Google Maps worked with GPS sans BT reciever, and using internal functionality. I am guessing I just took the statement too literally!
