Can i connect a blackberry pear to a bluetooth gps unit and get gps on my phone?

Question

I really want a Blackberry Pearl from Verizon wireless. I was looking online and found a few forums that said you could connect your blackberry to a bluetooth GPS unit and get GPS on your phone. Im wondering if this is possible with the BlackBerry Pearl and if the blackberry will still have to access the internet to use the GPS.

I also read something about tower triangulation to locate your self, does that access the internet as well?

Answer 1

Yes.  It is possible.  If you look on Telenav's website, it says something about external GPSs.  Try looking on ebay.  And by the way, it does use the internet.  I have AT&T, so it may be different for you, I recommend the Blackberry 8310 though.
