Many folks don't like it as its not graphics intensive but it gets you where you want to go with turn by turn text to speech. You will need a GPS keep alive (like GPSToday, Holux GPS view, or others) but its very accurate. Steep learning curve as not much documentation but I'm very pleased with it. Usually I'll start on WIFI at home or in a cafe and generate the route and then its totally free! If you miss a turn and it needs to recalculate its just pennies of data... Of course YMMV but I'm quite pleased.
someone correct me if im wrong but i think if you have programs such as TomTom that keeps the maps on your SD card then you can use those with our GPS chip and use the GPS completely free of charge. Im currently looking to find the program. once i test it i'll post the results
