Talking TOUCH GPS via Navi2Go

I've been searching this forum for a way to have navigation with my touch... ti seemed to be impossible unless a new rom from sprint would come out, which would enable the GPS.

I have the everything plan with sprint, which when I signed up, mentioned that navigation was also free. I decided to call in and ask about how would I have navigation, since it's included in my plan, and would not hang up until they would come up with an anwer.

Well, they put me on hold for some 20 minutes and gave me the following address:

softwarestore.sprint.com, click on your phone, select travel tools and buy the software called Navi2Go which is 9.99

They said that the data that feeds the sftware is free, but the software is not... the price is not a big deal, and it displays real 3d gps images as you navigate (as per pictures on the decription of the software)

My question is, have you guys had any experience with it? Would like to know before buying... is it frame by frame or does it move like a real GPS? Does it actually work? Here's the link:

I will appreciate any advise... even if it means to wait for sprint new rom...

By the way, see the u tube video, which is very good, but unbelievable...

and also the sprint store says... NAVI2GO for TOUCH

even if it works off the towers... is it an alright and usable application for navigation, d you recommend anything else or something free so I could try? I had my GPS stolen from my car (which was locked inside the glove compartment). I do have another one, but since I don't leave it in the car anymore, sometimes I forget to bring it along...
