You'll need an additional GPS receiver.

OK - got a bluetooth GPS kit from the Cingular store today...downloaded the TeleNav software before I picked up the receiver and once I paired it, IT WORKED and worked flawlessly. So, despite some rumors that TeleNav doesn't work with the 750, it does...and really well (and even the Cingular rep on the phone when I added the TeleNav service told me it didn't work - I convinced him to go ahead and add it since it's free for the first 30 days anyway). I have tried 2-3 GPS options on my 750 and TeleNav beats them all hands down...and it's inexpensive.
