The Swiss Army Knife Phenomenon (or, What Else Can I Do With a Treo)?

[From Richard in Missouri (Maryville, MO)] Given that both my wife and I are a little "directionally challenged", we had considered getting a full-featured GPS unit for our out of town travel jaunts. Instead, what I think I will do is ask my wife for a Freedom GPS keychain for my birthday, which I should be able to pair with a GPS app and map set via Bluetooth to give us GPS on the go without messing with a car mount or having to make sure the unit is locked in the back of the car. Given that those of us with older CDMA Treos will likely not ever see the API change which will let us use Google Maps My Location service, it's an inexpensive way to help us not get lost on our journeys.
