Off the wall GPS question.

I have a Sprint Touch, if I got a 2nd phone with GPS on it could I use the 2nd phone as the GPS device and have it work with Google Maps or Live Search on the Touch? Would it work using Bluetooth.

I have 3 lines already & one is ready for the upgrade.

Doubtful since I do not believe the phone with GPS has a GPS Bluetooth profile on it.

Sure you can.

Not that it would make any sense but...

If the other phone is a Mogul or other GPS enabled Pocket PC. You can use GPSGate and use your mogul as a NMEA Compliant Bluetooth GPS reciever.
