GPS - Hardware and Software

I need some recommendations on hardware and software to make my 6800 navigation capatible. I was of the mistaken impression from the Sprint website that all I had to do was purchase the Navigation Vision Pack to make this happen. Multiple calls to customer care and they finally admitted that the only vision pack the 6800 is compatible with is Basic or Music - no Navigation or TV. This said, what's the best route to go for navigation services? I'm new to this area of tech. Ideally, I'd like something voice activated traffic updates.

On a side note - Any opinions on TV software for the 6800 given its incompatibility with the Sprint TV vision pack?

It looks to me like the Mogul is not set up for "integrated" GPS via Windown Mobile applications, so that you would need a separate receiver to run those programs. This is the same way the 6700 and even the new AT&T 8525 work, according to the telnav.com website.

Can anyone confirm?

Have you heard anything about TV software for the 6800?

i have not yet purchased the 6800, i have a Treo 650 and use the Holux GPSlim236 through bluetooth for both the Treo and my laptop to run navigation software by Delorme. i will just use it for the 6800 if i do purchase it. Both worked great for the Treo and laptop.

Hey guys is it possible to get gps on the PPC6800 without having to pay? I know that you could use google maps but is there something else that is perhaps similar to telenav? I know that the sprint charge is like $10 a month
