Is there a gps type unit that can show other gps units on a map in real time? Is that even possible?
i.e.: I’m sitting in my car with this ‘gps unit’ and am able to see on its map other gps units in the area. (like emergency vehicles, semi trucks, etc.) I dont know if such a thing exists. Would be cool if it does. And I’m not talking about the gps tracking system that trucking companys and such use. This would show (a certain amout?) gps units in a given area, in real time.

Not so far as I know, no. GPS receivers don’t send out any signal, they just read the locations of the satellites. So it wouldn’t be possible with just your average handheld unit.

Look into boost mobile phones. They seem to have a similar type of feature.

TomTom has a service called “Buddies”, but it requires a Bluetooth connection since GPS receivers don’t send – they only receive. I don’t think it will show the locations of “random” GPS receivers.

The Garmin Rino 530HCx may have something similar to what you are looking for, but the others also have to have a Garmin handheld unit. It has a Position Reporting feature that you can send your position to others in your group.
