Good day to you all. Please, I want to know if Gps is working on SE P1i.
Where can I download one if it's working on it. Thanks.

The SE P1i does not have GPS hardware installed. You should however get an external GPS receiver which you have to plug into the phone..well most P1i are shipped with it.
You can't download "a GPS". GPS is a technology that allows Coordinate data to be sent to and from a "GPS Receiver" from a satellite in space. You do need software, which you can download that converts that data into a useable form i.e. points on a map. |

Thank you very much for this explanation. I'm indeed grateful. Is there anything I need to know again? How can I get this Gps of a thing since it wasnt ship with my phone. Thanks.

Well this is where it gets interesting.
What type of GPS receiver do you want?
You can buy Bluetooth receiver which communicate with your phone via...bluetooth obviously. Not sure if these type will work with the P1i?
There are also one that plug into your phone like a pair of headphones. heres a link on amazon:

Along with the GPS receiver you'll need to install software that will use the Reciever. Companies like TomTom, Telenav & Garmin have software which you can buy and download for a one off fee.
You can download and use programs like aMaze & Nav4All for free.....being free means there not as polished and supported as the paid ones but still do the same thing.
Heres some links:
aMaze: http://www.amazegps.com (free)
Nav4All: http://www.nav4all.com (free)
TeleNav: http://www.telenav.com
