Another GPS Thread

[:zainy:]

Hey everyone,

I've been frequenting this forum since picking up my mogul and really appreciate a lot of the information I get here. Today I learned something and in return would like to return my tidbit of knowledge.

I work for Sprint and was asked to attend a training seminar today on the HTC Mogul. During the presentation by the person from HTC, a slide popped up showing Telenav enabled which raised many eyebrows. Both the HTC Rep and several others who work in the data division of Sprint broke it down. The Mogul will in fact have GPS and will not require an external puck to utilize the GPS.

The EVDO Rev A chipset as they explained has a subset of chips which are GPS chips, some of our aircards do also apparently. Obviously the tech side of this I cannot explain beyond what they said. Everyone ensured us, all sprint employees, that when the EVDO Rev A update is released late september/early october, the mogul will be able to utilize telenav services.

Now many of you may be naysayers, however I have no reason to troll this forum and pop in for the sake of wasting my time and yours. My only regret about switching from an Samsung M500 to the Mogul has been that I lost the GPS feature. Today I, like every other sales rep in the seminar, had my chin hit the ground at how this is going to put the mogul over the top. So take it for what it's worth, but when they push the EVDO Rev A update, you will all be happy users of the Mogul.
