If you are an early adopter of iphone which did not have the GPS capablity and if you wish that you also had GPS, you are not left far behind. You can shell out some money and can get an add-on for your iphone and make it GPS-enabled.
Holux is one of the makers of GPS receiver devices. You can use its device (M1000b/M1200b) to pick the GPS location and feed it into the iphone. The best parts is that it can be integrated into the maps application provided by default. To do that you need to install an application named "GPS Live" which can read the GPS location input from the external GPS device and point the map to the exact location.
The whole package of Holux GPS device + connecting cable costs around $100. If you already have a Holux GPS receiver, the connecting cable costs only $16. It can be ordered from here.
The "GPS Live" application can continiously update your current location on the map. To see the device in action, see this video on youtube. See the instruction to download "GPS Live"
It is important to acknowledge the very first efforts on bringing the GPS to iphone. It is by an application called "xGPS" (link here). They found a way to integrate the input data to the Maps.app application. This the gateway to feed the GPS location input from the external GPS device to the default maps application.
