Like the functionality of a $200 handheld GPS, or satellite
navigation?, for basic functionality see below, for navigation, see the
other replies.

http://www.nokia-asia.com/phones/5140/ - check phone features, used to
be the big selling point for the phone. The GPS is built into one of
the Xpress-on covers, uses seperate batteries too (2xAA I think). I
wanted to own one once apon a time, but it's a little dated now (there
is also a 5140i that came out a few months ago with a few minor
upgrades).
