Does the GPS on this phone work pretty good? Bless those who answer! :-)

I am sorry that I can't answer that. I have the Data turned off on it. It is easy to hit the online button when you don't mean to and get a big bill. I love the phone for texting and calling, great speakerphone. Sorry I don't know about the GPS.

Yes. There is a $9.95 monthly subscription fee for AT&T; GPS navigator for Pantech P7040p. Set it for driving, biking, and or walking. You have the option to try it for 30 days free.

Yes, I got mine after about 1 week.It is unlocked and I tested with sims:T-Mobile USA and Vodafone Italia.It has Microsoft Street Pocket 2006 which is not very good (it has no navigation) for GPS and a bundle for 60 days trial of iNav HP iPaq navigation Maps and software which is great but it does not have the Europe maps. Only US and Canada.

It has GPS, but most people found the software implementation to be seriously lacking. It takes a while to update your position. I've read that this has been fixed in the FroYo pre-release that was leaked, though, so it may be better once the official release hits in September.

Can you post your impression of image quality, movie quality and gps accuracy?I'm very curious on time for gps lock and if you have another source to compare it to for accuracy.

I used GPS via Waze Application, most of all times works great, sometimes fail but if I switch to airplane mode and then switch back, works great!

It's like any other smartphone; it'l last days if you use it for nothing more than voice calls. If you use the GPS and 4G radios a lot, you'll drain it down in less than a day.My overall judgment of the battery life would be Decent - Good.

yes the GPS is great but it can be slow if straight talk has cut back your data usage. But it a pretty good gps. it will ask you do you want a standalone or goole access point when you go to cut it on use google it is faster. it make take a while to pin point your location in rural areas but. it will eventually find you.

Hi Michelle, I bough the GPS and it's been working very good for me, I know that does it have live traffic but you need to buy an antenna and I know you got have it connected in to the internet (Wi-Fi) otherwise won't work, I don't use that so that's why I can't tell you more about it, but it's a good Truck GPS.

I have a couple of navigation Apps downloaded for free from the Google Play Store. They work well and I also have a great App "Map My Run" from there that uses the Built in GPS. Yow can turn the GPS on and off easily through one of the main screens. This is the most versitle phone I have ever owned and am very happy with it! but you may want to get the extra battery with wall charger if you are going to be using apps a lot!

Yes. I have one, but haven't used that feature. Good tracker with excellent battery life. Here is a quick reference I put together of commands to send to the tracker for different modes. The 2531 is my password for my tracker. Just substitute yours in there. best, Greg Quick Reference: Text: linklocate*2531 to get GPS location texted back. Press and hold B or C until red flashing stops to phone Lisa or Steve Press and hold SOS button until flashing stops to send SOS to ABC phone numbers. Text: checkphone*2531 to see which phones are tied to BC buttons. A is my cell. Text: monitor*2531 to listen to surrounding sounds. Falcon calls back to your cell #. Hang up when done. Alarms Text: setmove*2531 to get a text every 5 mins once the tracker starts moving Text: setspeed*2531*080 to get a text if the speed exceeds 80mph, or whatever. Every 5 mins checks speed and sends text only if speed exceeds the value. Text: setarea*2531*A22.670000N114.140000E*B22.680000N114.150000E with A being bottom left and B being top right of quadrant. Every 5 mins checks gps and sends text only if outside quadrant. Text cancelalarm*2531 to cancel all the above Alarms. If you are considering paying $339 for the tracker, that price surprises me. I bought mine on Amazon for $160 in May of 2014. Maybe they have quit making them?

Not sure what you mean. The GPS works outside. Inside you don't get good reception.

I'm sorry I'm not the person to ask...have not had good luck with this gps. Geo site still doesn't recognize this gps. Have not been able to use it since it was given to me as a gift (almost one year). Help line is useless. Again sorry, hope you have better luck.

Good evening friend, your question regarding the phone is very good I recommend you buy it, so far I have not had any problems with the equipment.

Hi, the phone is very good. But it has software issues...like rebooting....wifi not working....camera not opening....no software update possible.... If it works without software bug,, then it's very good phone. Mine has the above mentioned problem.....

I just got my phone, I was curious to see the offline gps but so far I couldn't get it to work. It always shows Germany. It wouldn't locate the current position. I tried it in open Air facing the sky.Another annoyance, or may be there is a setting or something, the keyboard works like regular old cell phones. For example to type 'C' I need to tap on the key 3 times. To type number it's 4 taps. That is completely not acceptable in a smartphone.Will do more research before deciding to return it back.

Yes, the people that answered below tell it all. I find it a very good GPS especially for towing campers.
