Hey, it’s an iPod, it can’t do everything. And… if you desperately need a GPS and are too cheap to go buy a real GPS, go for the Tom-Tom app that was just released. Besides, it’s only got Google Maps. That’s not a GPS, people. If you wanted something more, go for the iPhone 3G S, it’s got a GPS in it. Well, still Google Maps, but now it’s got a compass too. ^_^

it triangulates using wi i spots correct, but u dont need wi fi to use gps at all. u should be able to download a map. this is what i didon my psp, but had to buy a gps unit (50 bucks) to slide in the usb slot. works perfect!

so wate do you need to be in range of wifi for gps to work or can you set your destination near wifi then go away from the wifi?

It’s impossible for the ipod touch to have gps and use it effectively. The touch doesn’t have map data saved in it like other gps devices (garmin and the like) do. You would still have to be in a wifi network for the ipod touch to look up the map data from google.

I’m holding out for two new 2nd gen iPod touch’s. One for my brother, and one for my cousin.

They both live overseas.

Both of them would LOVE GPS.

Maybe it doesn’t need bluetooth for GPS, but it should have bluetooth either way. It should pretty much have EVERY LITTLE THING the iPhone has, except the whole “phone” thing.

Wait, so… Why would it need bluetooth for GPS?

I just wish it had stereo bluetooth support [it would need bluetooth for this]…
