Worth noting that the sprint navigation service is now part of the everything data plans that Sprint has. Kind of surprised by that! Not that I've used it much, because I recently transferred my preferred Winmo GPS software (Copilot Live license from winmo to android. Really excellent stuff.

Also, to the dude above... GPS locks are significantly faster on the Hero than on the Titan or Touch Pro. Pretty close to instant lock on cold start (~1-2 secs for the my location dot to appear in Google Maps), even in my apartment, and it's definitely a lock and not a mobile network or partial satellite estimation. No experience with TP2.
