I know some people like using google maps because it is free but I sometime have to go to places where sprint has no singal google maps will do me no good without a cell phone singal. I need a stand alone gps program that does not depend on the network and TOMTOM does that for me. I would be willing to use garmin too if android had this program for the epic.

did you know you can purchase 3rd party GPS apps that are stand alone? it downloads maps to your phone.. and all it needs is a good gps signal.
I have used 3rd party on my Hero and my Diamond. But if the EPIC needs cell network assistance.. I can see this might be an issue.. if you are not in network range!
