I've been using IGO8 since I had my HTC Vogue!
I am curious why the SPRINT people don't use SPRINT NAVIGATION which is FREE and KILLS the 2D to text to speech Gmaps, BING, and any other GPS you have to pay for. Its 3D, talking lady, reroutes, etc. It just seemed interesting that SPRINT users were using Bing and GMaps over the free 3D text to speech app.

Also, Bing was doing the WEAK GPS thing back on the Mogul when it was called Live Search.

This is all IMHO.

Re: How to get a FREE Navigator for your Touch Pro2.

Well for me the Sprint Navigator is not included in my plan. I pay $2.50 for unlimited internet (not a sero plan) and navigation is another $5/$10 per month.

I used to use Live Search for traffic but Google is 10x better because it shows more side streets. I don't really need a "navigation" unit, just something to tell me where there's less traffic

Sensitive a bit? That wasn't rudeness. Get over it.

I'm using Sprint Navigation because I have Sprint. But make no mistake about it, on a GSM phone Bing is FAR better than Sprint Navigation for everything other than turn by turn navigation. Movie times and prices, restaurants, gas prices, etc- Bing is the best there is for it on a GSM phone.

Why a GSM phone and not CDMA? Because on a GSM phone it has your location instantly. You tap the icon, and by the time the app opens up it already has your location. There is no waiting for a GPS lock, or telling it to use GPS or any opf that nonsense (although you can certainly do that too if you want, but not sure why anyone would). It just knows where you are and you can search for your stuff right then.

Combine Bing with Tom Tom and you have a winner (on GSM). Hopefully they fix the CDMA issues...

Re: How to get a FREE Navigator for your Touch Pro2.

I have a family data plan... For 2 phones I pay 100 bucks.
Unlimited EVERYTHING except for land line minutes... we share 1500. And family locator which I don't use.
I can find anything and get anywhere with telenav. I have never had any issues with it. I have tried bing and google maps... They are both still on my phone. I never use them. Telenav is my 411 and my navigator.

Re: How to get a FREE Navigator for your Touch Pro2.

AmazeGPS is still free... BUt the shiznit will be: Google official navigator(not the hack one that sucks imho) that is coming soon for WM(already out for droid) and will be free as well. It has most complete package of features that are not found on any current GPS. It will come with TTS, turn by turn, Traffic, Search by (natural)Voice with google assist(like say go to nearest movie theater with closest Titanic start time), Sattelite View and Street view(photo quality same as on GM) and others, will pwn all other GPS soft/PNA's free and paid!!! Most exciting GPS soft and i have GarminXT, TomTom(PNA and PDA), iGO8, AmazeGPS, Waze and build in MB one(will most likely unistall/turn off all once GN is out for WM and stable enough)!
