Wendy,
I have been using Telenav and have been very happy with it. You can download the software from there site, and it will cost you $10.00 per month for unlimited usage.
If your with sprint its is included with the $25.00 plan

Forgot, you will need to buy a receiver for it to work with the 755. You can pick them up cheep on ebay

Wendy,
Go to the telenav site (http://www.telenav.com/campaign/inde...3589sx8pi5ai43)
Download the program for the treo 755. They have you sighn up with a credit card for $10.00 per month. Check on the sprint site and see what plan you have for sure and what is included. I had started with the $15.00 unlimited web plan. I found if i signed up for the $25.00 plan it included the web navagator, So for the extra $10.00 per month i found i can have everything.

Get yourself a gps receiver and it is real easy to set up and use.

I use TOM TOM 6 for my Treo 700WX & 755P and its money well spent. It comes with its own satellite reciever that connects via bluetooth. This is great because it keeps my phone free for incoming emails, texts and phone calls. As far as the GPS.. well its TOM TOM. I use it in my police car and have no problem with streets and direction during car chases. Like I said money well spent.

I suggest trying Google Maps first - it will give you an idea of what a mapping application looks like and basic operation.

Question on GPS treos. The description on cell phones is gps enabled???? Does that mean there is a built in receiver or just capable of installing a gps unit.

Brother in law got a blackberry and he can't surf or use wifi without buying a blackberry plan on top of his sprint service.
