I think it's part of Nokia Maps, but it's a separate icon.

I already have enough old cellphones and this one is actually pretty nice
and was a hacker's delight in its day. Disconnected it's still useful like
you said. But for the money I'll go with a dedicated GPS unit like Will
suggested. The price is right and it should work a lot better than a phone.

Anybody wanna buy a Siemans S45 or a hacked Nokia 5800 Xpress Music, lemme
know ;-)
