You might be able to find someone with an older i730 or something that they'd give you, or else you can find the Boost i415 for about $30 at places like Target & Wal-Mart. $10 will probably get you the data cable from eBay.

{edit} You don't need to have it activated to use the GPS, and the Boost i415 is a pre-paid so it can be bought w/o contract. {/edit}
oooooh! I like.....I will deffinately check it out, is it hard to turn on the output or is it just a setting on the phone?
