iPod Touch/Phone

there are no wifi hot spots around me besides my own wifi router, i cant pick up any of my neighbors with my touch, but even then, i doubt it has their address stored and my ip address only resolves to my isp's address

that answers it and is fucking creepy. we secure our wifi by mac address but i guess that can't stop them from logging its location, its not hidden

The iPod Touch does have Google Maps now, as part of the $20 add-on suite of software announced at MacWorld. You can lookup an address and it will show a route to that location. However, it does not have full GPS capability. If you are within range of a few Wi-Fi hotspots the iPod can triangulate its position to show your start point and then plot a route to your destination, but it will not be constantly updated and announce every turn for you like a traditional GPS device will. So, unless you are using it in a large city where you are likely to have a few Wi-Fi hotspots in range, you'd likely have to enter your start point manually and then it will give you a route. (Note that you have to be within a Wi-Fi hotspot's range to receive any map data for the iPod, so you'd have to plan out your trip before leaving your home/office/coffeehouse)

ive found that it caches maps very well so if i want to follow a route i view all of it while connected to the internet and it stores all the maps i need.
