As for Sprint navigation and Google maps, I use both. Both are very good. I mostly use Google maps its pretty awesome since the last update. Give it a try. It seems faster and more responsive when scrolling around the map during navigation. Plus Google maps integrates with the EVO's voice search feature. Sprint navigation does too somewhat... I think.
They're all nice navigation apps. You can't go wrong with either one.
As far as I know, the last device Verizon locked the GPS on was the 6800, and they unlocked it in an update if I remember correctly.

They have never locked the GPS on a device that required an everything plan on Sprint (which are the devices that require the new SERO plans).
