Definitely GSM. Yes, GPS is built in. I've read elsewhere that the GPS chip goes to sleep after a period of inactivity so the program might have a problem waking up yhe GPS. It seems to do fine if there's another program that wakes up the chip first. I’m on AT&T. Definitely GSM.

Is it using something other than a GSM phone connection? CDMA perhaps? - The Bold's GPS is built-in correct? I'll play around with the Bold Simulator and see if I can reproduce the problems. Thanks.

Also, love the inclusion of the map image into the program. Very useful.

Still having problems getting the GPS data. If I have another GPS program running in the background (e.g. google maps) BBtrackr sometimes can then get GPS data (though even this doesn't always work). Also it doesn't seem to be getting Cell ID data at all. Don't know if you've already checked it out, but the guy at moostrax.com is working on a similar app (minus the cell ID bit) and has published some of his code. He program successfully gets GPS data, only when you first start the program. He's having trouble getting the updating to work. I posted the other day about BBtrackr on the Bold.
