Another Dumb Question: GPS related

Please educate me. I went to download the WiFiFofum thing from here (to locate WiFi signals) and after it was on my phone, it said my GPS was off and didn't pull anything up. Is that something I can turn on or something that has to be added by my provider, or did I just do it wrong?

Now I also asked this before but i didn't understand the answer. Is it possible to make my phone a regular GPS locator? I see these programs to add GPS option on the phone but the make referance to a blue tooth addition that you need also. So you add the program and have a extra device that pulls the signal from your phone? Is there anything where it's all just on the phone?

HELP!

Did you turn on your wi-fi radio before or after starting the program? Did you soft-reset after installing the program?

and as for the GPS, like JIMNO said, you need an extra external device.
