    I just got mine in the mail today. It says online that it's built in but I don't know how to access or find it (I got CTO without WWAN, and pro w/fresh start)?

    I think you have to have the Verizon option to use GPS...

    that's a little misleading from their site, then...everything that's an option says "available," everything else doesn't have that added on. GPS says "Built-In GPS functionality."

    i will give them a call and report back.

    Just a question. Are there GPS in the build in models in Europe?

    The GPS module is part of the WWAN card, so, yes, you have to have the Gobi card (Verizon/AT&T/whatever) installed.
