My husband and I both got Razr's last year through Verizon. They have web
browsing ability and a mapping feature too. You can use it and pay "per
use" for like $2.99, or, if you know you're going to be traveling, you can
turn the feature on for $10 a month unlimited. It works like Mapquest or
Google Maps. I would bet most of the newer phones and carriers offer a
similar feature. We like that we can use it if we want, but don't have to
pay for it each month. (our contract gave us free web etc. for the first 30
days, we played with it a little, but it's not something we want/need in a
cell phone)

Are you talking about a locator feature or GPS? The two are not the
same. All new cell phones have a locator feature, although not all 911
systems are set up to use it.

I have now figured this out after looking at various phones. I really
wanted just the locator feature. Thanks for educating me! Glad to know
all the new phones have it.
