The Palm Centro needs a GPS reciever to enable GPS. TeleNav or Garmin hasn't made an app. to access GPS for Palm OS. From my understanding, there may be other GPS apps. soon. Not too sure if they will work for Palm's OS.

Garmin has GPS for the Palm OS. But you have to buy their external unit. It is not the best solution and for that price I would suggest just buying a MIO GPS unit from Radio Shack or Online. That is what I use.

I am aware of Garmin's and TeleNav's GPS puck or reciever. I'm sure someone has developed some sort of GPS app for CDMA Palm OS. The EvDO, Palm phones, should have aGPS chipset. I've found GPS apps on getjar, but non that will work with Sprint's Palm line-up.

Comes with Google Maps
For $99.99 you can pick up a bluetooth GPS reciever from Garmin, and then the phone can use the GPS software but the phone does not have GPS LBS. You have to purchase an external unit.
