Our two Verizon phones are a Kyocera 7135 (Palm PDA phone) and a Motorola StarTac 7168 (pre-GPS phone). Plus I'm not sure if it would work in Canada (it might depending on how it gets its data) or in Japan (it definitely would not), while my current GPS will.

You might find that one will soon be having to replace any non-GPS (actually non-e911) cell phones. The FCC has already banned activating them. Plus, analog service (again thanks to the FCC) will be going away in early 2008. I
think that would be a "double whammy" for the ol' StarTac's, no?
Also, while a US cell phone based Nav application might not work in Japan, I don't know very many people planning on driving over to Japan either. At least I don't. So, the built-in Nav system in my hybrid isn't going to do me much good in Japan either.
