Looks like the iPhone is getting GPS features in the next firmware update 1.1.3 around early 2008. What does this iPhone firmware update 1.1.3 do ? It’s reported to add semi-GPS capabilities, based upon cell triangulation and multi-destination SMS texting capability to the iPhone.
I call the GPS function semi-GPS since there’s no GPS receiver on the Apple iPhone and it will only be using 3 Cell towers from the Mobile Providers triangulate and provide GPS-like coordinates. It won’t be as accurate as GPS tracking but at least it will work in subways and tunnels that have mobile reception.
