So, I wonder if they are going to use GPRS or GPS ?

Interesting stuff. I already use Google Maps on my phone a fair bit. Aside from the occasional oddity, it's not bad, but the ability to have proper turn-by-turn nav from it would be great.

Both... GPS is the positioning system, GPRS is the mobile phones' data system. One to work out where you are, the other to pull the maps and the routing data over the network.

You've gotta hope you are on an "all you can eat" data plan, or that's gonna hurt the pocket lots ...
