I actually looked at the manual, the online specifications, and the in-store product description and it doesn't say anything about the internal GPS ONLY working with their software.
I also have been constantly trying to figure out a solution for this issue by contacting AT&T hoping that they could come up with an answer for me but of course I didn't think of contacting Pantech until it was too late. I didn't buy the phone specifically for the GPS capabilties but I thought that it would be cool to have a phone that did that. I do love the phone for other reasons and I still want to keep it despite this issue.
I still find it shady though that AT&T doesn't tell you that your internal GPS ONLY works with their software because they have it locked so that you can't use ALL the features that your phone has to offer without paying lots extra. I think next time I will buy a phone that is not tied to any specific carrier so that I can keep my options open. As it is, I am already paying for the text messaging plan and for the multimedia plan which costs $30 extra on top of the bill for the cell phone.
